My brother has left me with the problem of replacing the blown light globes on his (now defected) TS Magna exec. The brake lights and high and low beam headlights were all easy fixes and now work fine. The only problem left is the issue of the front driver's parking light, and after hours of reading and fiddling i have no clue how to change this. Help guys??

Coming from a 3rd gen side of things, you have to remove the headlight covering for the main beam and its tucked away in there. Have a look and see. Chuck the parkers on and look. On the 3rd gen again, you have to pull quiet hard on the bulb to remove it from the holder

You need to remove the rubber headlight covering, there is a small rubber plug, which goes into the same enclosure and quite close to headlight bulbs, have another look and you should find it pretty easy.

It is in the head light assembly isn't it? It has been a while since I used to wok on them, but is there a washer bottle in the way?

never mind - I was thinking of the indicators. lol
Parking lights - pain to get to, I've only ever looked at them with the headlights out of the car.

Depending on his dexterity, I suppose he might have to move the washer bottle, but considering he has already done the headlight bulbs, I didn't suppose that would be an issue.

They sit about a centimetre under the main headlight globes, in either a black, or grey rubber tube. If you can get to the headlight globe, you can change the parker lights.

How do you replace them on The vrx head lights? I can't seem to even pull the plastics rubber cover that the light connects to ? Is there some kind of trick??

Na they just seem to be rubber seals/plugs with the electrical wires coming out of them, I have tried pulling quit hard on them but was scared to break them, I will upload photos today to further explain:)
