    My front right (passenger) side parking light is broken and I can't figure out how to change the bulb. The left (driver) one is a simple twist and done, but the right one is just impossible. Does anyone know or can direct me somewhere that tells me how to replace the passenger side parking light bulb?

    They're both the same. Try using some (long) needle nose pliers and twist gently

    Thanks for the reply. I tried that, but none of those worked. So I was wondering is there's any other way.

    There is a lot of heat that generate in those little lights, it's probably melted a little and on really tight. Twist left and right (wiggle) and see if it'll get loose. If you can get a bigger pair of pliers on there, it might help. Needle nose is not really wide enough. It's always counter clockwise to take them off
