Front Parking Light Globe-They don't make it easy!!

[silver]

My front parking globe,driver side, is buggered. I tried to get it out but just ended up taking skin off my hand. Is there a secret???

It is a PIA to get at. You have to remove the headlight.

11.Headlight Assembly​

A: REMOVAL​

1) Disconnect the ground cable from battery.​

2) Remove the air intake duct (when right side​

headlight is removed).​

3) Remove the front grille and headlight side cover.​

4) Disconnect the headlight bulb connector.​

5) Remove the three bolts and disconnect connectors,​

and then detach the headlight assembly.

I figured it was something like that and I started on it but then couldn't be bothered.
So that would cost over $100 to get done at a dealer considering they charge $120ph. What a bloody joke!!
I'll need to do it before I sell the car and if I get pulled up by the boys in blue this would be a defect I guess.
By the way...I have not done it for a while but if I remember correctly the diff oil and MT oil is the same...90w...is this correct?

Correct; 90 = zero C to 40C+
