How do you change a 2006 Subaru Forester front parking light bulb?

Answer 1

Undo the six plastic retainers along the top of the engine grill. The centre needs to be lifted up on each one while holding down the outside rim. When the centre is raised the retainer can be removed by levering up the outer rim. With these removed, there is enough room to flex the grill forward enough to get access with long-nosed pliers to the bulb holder on each side. Twist the bulb holder anti-clockwise with the long-nosed pliers to free the bulb holder. The old bulb should just pull out and the new one push in until it clicks into place. Handle the new bulb with gloves or tissue paper to avoid getting finger prints on the bulb glass. Twist the holder back into place clockwise and then reverse the process for replacing the grill fasteners.
