Parking light bulb replacement?
Gday all.
My parking light bulb in the headlight assembly has blown in my 150 series. I removed the parking bulb assembly Ok but was unable to extract the bulb from what is largely a chunk of plastic holding what looks to me to be a T10-type bulb. I even got some right-angle pliers around the base of the bulb and pulled quite hard - thinking the bulb was a standard T10-type bulb that would simply pull out. To no avail. With the force I was using, I reckon I must have come close to busting the whole glass bulb. It made me suspect that the bulb itself might not be replaceable and instead, the whole assembly - plastic surround and bulb - might need to be replaced as a single unit. Aaaaghhhhh!
Is anyone able to provide some advice? Ie. Pull harder on the bulb itself or do I need a replacement parker unit?
Thanks
