HID look Parking lights, removal?
Hello.
Any one know how to remove the parking light in the upper corner of the headlight? I have the HID lights, and don't want the little yellow bulb . I want to replace it with a superwhite bulb. I opened the hood up, and removed a bolt..but I could not see what else had to removed to change the bulb. The way it is situated, you almost HAVE to take the entire headlight out to change the parking bulb.
Anyone here know how to do so?

Yes, remove the screws and slightly pry open the plastic panel.
I have a large hand and I was still able to reach in there.
Remove the bulb socket and pull out the bulb.
After you put the new bulb in, make sure you test it
first by turning on the parking light.
On the other hand, it may not be worth the trouble.
I tried all the blue/xenon-color bulbs out there, including
3 different ones from PIAA... None of them even comes
close to matching the HID light on my '01 RX300...
