You can get a heap of eBay or try Super Cheap Auto that's where I got mine.

Not to hijack but how do you replace the parker bulbs on the CJ?

With great f**king difficulty.

They are hiding in a sort-of screw-in (half-turn and pull and jiggle it and turn it some more and swear a lot until it comes out) holder. You need to get your hand in behind the headlight unit, almost right up against the body panel.

In this photo, the body panel is at the left (red thing), the head light is at the right (black thing labelled 'HB4 12V51W') and the parker plug is in the centre. The grey bit sticks back about 2cm, so you don't have much to grab hold of.

Thanks but are they worth replacing?
I have noticed how pathetically dull the stock parker lights are.

I'll take a look on the weekend.

I have replaced mine with LED parker globes from Supercheap Auto, I find the LED looking ones a lot brighter and better looking!

They are very fiddly and a pain to change but I have done this a few times and isn't hard, just more fiddly than anything, worth doing though! :)
