    Anyone change the front parking light bulb on a 323. Amber lens above fog light has screw head on each end but they just seem to spin. Lens doesn't seem any looser. Is this supposed to be changed from rear. Can't seem to find any access to back. Any help appreciated. Just picked this 86 gts 3 weeks ago and can't stop smiling!

    One side of my 87 328 had this issue. Turns out the prior owner had found or stripped the screws and had added a nut on the back side. I had to take out the center grill (easy, just a few screws) and reach around the back to hold the nuts to take out the light.

    Thanks I'll give it a try in morning. My grille has at least one top screw missing. Guess the amber lens is supposed to come off then to access bulb.

    Before you take the grille off looking for a nut, be sure the lens isn't just "stuck" on where it mounts. I loosened the screws and then found out both lenses needed significant pressure to come loose. Obviously take care in applying that pressure (I used a thin towel to grab the entire lense then used slow but steady pressure).

    If the screw is fully out a magnet should extract it, then you'll know the lens is just stuck in place. On my Mondial there was a rubber/foam gasket between the lens and the groove it sat in. It was a bit stuck in place.
