Parking Lamp Bulb Replacement

[Jfpq70]

I would like to replace my parking lights with some LEDs which I purchased, but for the life of me cannot get my fingers around the bulb holder to twist and remove it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the bulb holder on a 2014 Q70. Thanks in advance.

I had to use long needle nose pliers the first time I took them out. Turn slowly until it pops open so you don't break anything.

There is a grey bracket held on by a 10mm bolt that you can remove for easier access. I'm assuming you are talking about the lamp in between the turn signals and the hid projectors.

I can clip a picture if you have trouble finding it.

tlaspecc, I was wondering about the clip but was not sure what to do. Picture would be nice.


Debonair, I tried needle nose pliers but could not get enough turning room.

Thank you for your help. I think maybe I need to do both. Looking forward to the picture.

Success!! Between moving the clips and some long pliers I was able to get it done. Thanks again.

I incorrectly assumed you had the bracket off already. Sorry

Debonair, thanks for your response. I called them clips but they are the grey brackets. Did not realize they were removable. I also do not see their purpose.

Their purpose is to secure the trailing edge of the bumper cover to the leading edge of the fender.
