Hi,

Model: BMW 525i 2007

My front right parking bulb is faulty. I have removed the rear cover, disconnected the beam socket and bulb,(to get it out of the way). However, I can not get my hand down to the parking bulb socket to disconnect it. Do I have to remove the whole front light unit to get at the socket/bulb. Thanks (p.s. tried smaller hands but no success)

Thanks. I came across the YouTube clip in this URL. You need to scroll to the bottom of the page...looks straightforward.
