Hi. I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how to video helps you out. And the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video we're going to show you how to service the parking lights on this 2000 Chevy Cavalier. Pretty much the same as any 2000-2002. We're going to do the passenger's side, which is the right hand side. The procedure is the same for the left hand side. You'll need a flat blade screwdriver. That should be the only thing you need, but a pair of pliers might help as well.
Lift up your hood, and there are six clips to remove that hold the panel on. You see I'm pointing them out right here. Use a screwdriver or a pair of pliers, and pull up the center of the clip. And then you should be able to grab onto it, and just pretty much kind of shake it back and forth, and pull it up and out.
I'll just fast forward here as we remove the rest of those clips. And you can see some of them take a little bit. You kind of pry up, and get that center pulled up, then work them out. And now that panel just bows up in the middle and lifts out. To release the parking light, there is a little clip that you access right down through there, and pry out with the screwdriver. You see we're prying out, and we're actually pulling on the light at the same time. It takes a minute just to kind of get everything right. You got to release the clip and pull. And then usually when it comes out, it comes right out. And you can see the clip right there. And you can just twist the socket. There's a little tab to press on. Twist and it comes out. If you're looking to change the bulb, it just pulls straight out, and put a new one back in.
New light from 1A Auto is on bottom. It's all the same, just newer, clearer, and not broken, if yours is broken. There are three tabs on the light that line up with three holes in the headlight and fender. Reinsert the bulb, and twist it to lock. Then put the light in. Look back in the back to make sure that those three pins are lined up at the holes, and once you get them lined up, you give it a good firm push, and it snaps into place. And put that trunk panel back in place. Kind of work it under one side, bow it up in the middle, work it in under the other side, and then put your six clips back in place. And you should be all set. The clips, you want to make sure that the center is pulled out. You put the main portion of the clip back in, and then you push the center down to lock it in place.
