Default Changing Parking Lights

Hey everyone,

So recently one of my parking lights went out on my is350 and today I planned to change it, upon doing some research and trying to do it logically I found myself hitting a wall. I've changed the headlights prior to this so I know how the bulbs are the housing work but when I went to change out these tiny little parking lights I saw that they were connected by two little screws within the housing. After about 20min of trying to. get them out with the Phillips head I threw in the towel because there's no where near enough room. My question to you guys is do I need the remove the headlights to get enough clearance to take these little bastards out? Or is there just a different way to do it that I'm missing...?


Here is what I was seeing, all I did was take the cover off and disconnect the wires.. bulb wouldn't twist and I didn't want to snap it.

Thanks for the time.

Pretty sure it twists off, I changed them several times on my car and other people's cars and I never had to unscrew it.

Yeah just twist. They will be a little tough if never been removed.
