    No, I don't think so. They are just .... well, parking lights. That's what it is called in the manual and that is what I learned they are called as well. The parking lights are the lights that comes on (outside of the car) when you turn your light stalk one notch. And they are also the lights that comes on when you press the green button with the letter "P" on. If not, what do you call them?

    IF THEY ARE THE LIGHTS ( BULB) IN BACK OF THE CAR(NOT THE SIDE) I HAVE REPLACED THEM MYSELF..JUST REACH BEHIND THE BACK OF THE ENGINE BAY, AND PULL IT OUT FROM UNDER THE PLASTIC HOLDER..MAKE SURE YOUR NOT WEARING A WATCH OR A BRACELET.EASY FIX

    The white bulb holders (with the sort of two long ears) "unscrew" CCW IIRC (as viewed looking back from inside the engine bay) about 30 deg and then can be withdrawn when their 2 mounting tabs align with the slots in the rear tailight housing. Over time, the gasket can seem almost like adhesive until it breaks loose so be careful with the long ears and try to grab as close to the base as possible (if you need to get rough with it). You might want to try removing/replacing one of the reverse bulb holders just to get familiar with the design before going after the more difficulty-placed parking bulb holders.

    Dear Ferraristi,

    On the white ears Steve is refering to, twist very close to the base. The plastic gets brittle and breaks easily if twisted in the middle....been there done that !
