Easy Question re parking lights

I need to replace a parking light and the manual refers to a release card that will pop out the parking light fixture. I could not find a release card in the car and tried to use a credit card, which did not work. Can someone tell me what the card looks like - are there any cutouts, etc. I hate the idea of taking it to the dealer to replace a light bulb, but I can't stand looking at the ! on my tach.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Try 2-3 credit cards together, push them in at lower inner corner and do not let them slide upward. It will work, just try it again.

Yes and make sure that they are cards you don't care about -- they can/will be damaged in the process.

An expired credit card should do the trick. Just follow the illustration on the manual. Good luck.
