Changing parking light bulbs

I tried this in "Electrical" but no answer so thought I would try it here. I need to change bulbs in my parking lights on my 1984 Silverado and surely someone on here knows how to do this. Am I the only one who has to change a bulb in the parking lights? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I got over 70 some hits in Electrical but not one answer. ???

Re: Changing parking light bulbs

The lens in front of the bulbs is fastened to the fixture part and cannot be removed and replaced.
You change the bulbs from behind.
Reach up from under the bumper or down from above, and twist the socket to access the bulb.

Then the three bolts holding the parking light fixture in.
The driver's side is easy to access from the top, the passenger side not as easy with the battery in the way.
