Default headlight removal for 2005 (peanut)

Hi all
I'am wanting to replace my parking lights,how easy is it to take the headlight out. The Subaru manual says to take the car to a dealer.

Thanks Steve

Fairly easy. I haven't got a peanut but there are about 2 or 3 10mm bolts that need to come out, then unplug the globes & manouvre the fitting out. Its pretty easy to do.

The small corner lights I think need the headlight to be removed... its pretty easy, remove the 2 or 3 small bolts along the top(under the bonnet) then take the centre grill out and remove the 2 larger bolts hidden behind it... then spend 5 mins twisting and turning to pop it out...

Why not do it all properly and take out the orange lense why you're at it?

First section shows how to take headlights out then goes on to show how to remove the orange lenses.

As jimmy said might aswell do both while your at it!
