[s-cars] parking lamp/turn signal install how-to?

[matt ludwig]

Thanks a bunch Harold. I just got done with this replace/install  
(along with several other jobs on the avant) and got it all in nice  
and tight. I did not have to loosen the headlamp assembly at all, but  
made sure there was a tight fitting and audible "snap" as it went in.  
Also made sure to turn the white lock 1/4 turn clockwise afterwards.

Thank you everyone for the input.

Sincerely,


matt ludwig.
