Recently my parking light on the passenger side stopped working, I checked the bulb fuses etc all were fine.

It turned out to be a bad contact on the connector, I cured it by spraying the connector with Electrical Contact Cleaner....hope this helps.

No you just remove the 2 Flathead screws on top holding the black plastic headlight frame, then you will see a metal frame with 2 Cross head screws at the bottom remove these and lift the frame up and it lifts off. Then the headlight pulls free.

You may have to use WD40 on the Cross heads all mine were seized.
