Is it 9005 HIR high beam bulb?
Not sure why you need to change it?
They are very very good bulb, but you should able to get it out by press and pull it at the same time

The parking light bulb is on the end of this plastic stick. You have to twist is about 1/4 turn and pull it out.

Nope. That entire assembly is a 9005 bulb. Unplug the wires and go get a new one.

I agree with another poster who said it looked like an HIR replacement. If so a standard 9005 is going to look pretty poor in comparison, so you may want to source an HIR instead.

Are we talking about the PARKING light, or the HIGH BEAM / DRL bulb? The question was about the PARKING LIGHT, wasn't it?

Yes sorry for the confusion, i found the parking light stick from the owner manual , what i needed to change was the parking light.

Having said that my fuse was blown on the high beam light, so both of the high beam wasn't working.

Its all good now.

Can someone point me to a link to buy the gs trunk support gas stick? while i was fixing the light, the trunk cover fell on me, almost decapitaing me

Ebay. I just replaced the hood shocks with the aftermarket shocks from this seller. They work great.
