Default Parking light replacement

Hello I'm looking for instructions on how to change my 1994 Dodge Caravan front drivers side parking light. The local garage wants to charge me 60 bucks just for labor and I'm hoping this is something I could do myself. I've seen the part online for about 40 which I can afford. I dont have a service manual or extra money to buy one. If someone would be willing to share some simple instructions I would really appreciate it very much.

I just went out to see how hard it is to do on my Wife's 92 Caravan and it looks to me the fender has to come off.I didn't get a chance to look closer because it's pouring down rain here today.If I'm correct the $60 bucks might be a fair price at a dealer.Try calling around to different repair shops in your area,you might get a better deal.If that's still not a real option you might get someone with tools to do the job in your driveway for you.I'm sorry I couldn't help you more.

On both my 91 and 94 the fender did NOT have to come out to change it. It is just a bunch of screws and the assembly pulls out. The pain in the butt one is the one that goes straight down and is really long with a torx head. Sometimes it is hard to line the holes up to put it back in, and as I remember several or all are torx screws. 10 minute job with the tools.

I'm glad you said that because after looking at mine in the rainstorm I got worried that I would have to replace a bulb someday.I'll go out and see today now that things have dried up.
