So to get access to either the high beam or the parking light bulb, on the passenger side, you have to remove this area and take and to do so you just have to remove these two pins. And now you can counterclockwise turn this bulb, just barely wiggle it free. So now you're, you're off with the harness. And when you push down on that it releases a latch that's higher up in the whole thing and slides down. This socket down at the very bottom has a little tab that you push down on.

Both of those are easily accessed from behind here with the hood open. And in the corner of that same area is the parking light. So from the center out, you have a high beam bulb, which is right in here.
