ALTISE PARK LIGHT GLOBE REPLACEMENT

[BRUCE JAMISON]

Hi, I have just purchased a 2004 Altise, auto, white, 150,000 km.

My question is does the headlight have to be removed to replace the parklight globes ?   the are easy to replace on my 2003 Sportivo which has a different style of headlight

any answers ?

02-04 have the same headlights - the sportivo version just has a black housing - the 05-06 on the other hand has the indicator bulbs switched from outside to inside and the parkers have been separated

No, theyre directly under the highbeam bulbs -

No,  the Altise & Sportivo have same shape headlight but different globe position layout.  the Sportivo parklights are next to the grille & the Altise parklights are on the exact opposite end of the headlight

I have been told that they are Altise park light globes can be changed by removing the inner wheel arch guard liner to access the parklight bulb socket

i agree, they both have the same shape

 

02-04 (altise) Chrome housing

02-04 (sportivo) Black housing

 

05-06 (sportivo black housing)

05-06 (altise) chrome housing

they are both GEN 5

At lunchtime yesterday I managed to change ONLY the l/h parklight on the Altise, took me about 3/4 hour. On a hoist I had to remove the wheel & most of the guard liner. Then "tuck" myself up under the guard & while holding a pen-light in my mouth had, to "snake" my arm up thru a maze of cables & bracketry, but did finally manage to reach the parklight bulb socket and finally change the globe to an LED one.  When the scratches on my arm heal :) and I mentally recover I will attempt to change the r/h one
