Removing Park Light from VE SSV

[VS 5.0]

Hi All,

Having a bugger of a time trying to remove the park lights.

I've seen comments that say a 1/4 turn and pull out and another that said to use a flat head screwdriver to gently pry it out.

Mine just free spins and won't pull out by hand and I can't get any decent leverage with a screwdriver to use that.

Anyone have any other tips or tricks ?

Its awkward, you need to pull and twist the bulb holder, they just 'clip in' to the reflector.
Or put tension on the wires and try to jiggle the bulb holder out.

I used a pair of small jewellers pliers after spending about an hour pulling and turning and prying the piece of sh!t .

It’s just a straight pull - very difficult, esp if it’s never been remove before

Needle nose pliers wrapped in a hankie/old singlet did the trick for me - didn’t mark the housing/bulb holder and didn’t damage the wiring loom either

I can't budge the wire retaining clip for the drivers side front park lamp. There's not much room to work but I got a screwdriver under the clip but it won't budge, any ideas?
