Yeah... No need to remove the screws in my case either. Just unscrew the pentagon electrical box thing and unclip the bulb with the clips on each side and you can pull it right out.

I bought a bunch of different LEDs to try out for my interior, and now I have a few left over that I was going to put in for the parking lights. However, I don't have a floor jack, or access to one. I'm limited to the parking lot, with the car as-is.

Is it possible to change the parking lights with the car sitting on the floor and the wheels/tires on? It didn't look like there was enough room to go from the top, and I don't want to waste the time trying from the bottom if it's impossible. Just asking if anyone's done it.

Yea, pretty much feel like the biggest moron on earth right now. I spent the last week asking all my friends if they had a floor jack, never even thinking about the one included with my own car in my own trunk. I, my friends, am an idiot.

When I raised my headlights I tried to find where the parking bulb is. I couldn't even see the parking light, let alone figure a way to get my hand down there. If there's a way, please let me know!!

If by parking lights you mean the yellow ones (which i think now is what u mean) then no... I havent changed those...

I kinda thought you meant the city lights in the fog housing...cause you can change those out.... my bad...
