I have a 1999.5 4Runner...j/k a pathfinder obviously and the driver side running light is out. Turn signal works, just the running light. Anyways, I lifted the hood and took the top screw out that connects the entire light to the frame. The light unit wiggles but doesn't come out. I can't access the bulb to replace it? Any thoughts?
Also, I have a passenger side mirror that needs to be replaced. dealer quoted me 281$. Ebay has the matching OEM part for 94$. Worth buying this type of part from ebay? easy to replace? The mirror is motorized and heated. Thanks for any tips.
Running light and passenger mirror replacement? Need tips

The lamp has a clip that holds it in along with the screw at the top of the fender that you already removed. Pull the lamp forward to disengage it; sometimes it takes a little muscle! As far as the mirror, remove the door panel and inside mirror cover, remove the three bolts and unplug the harness connector to remove the mirror. Reverse to install. Genuine Nissan mirrors and lamps are usually a better quality than the cheaper E-bay stuff. Whether that difference in quality is worth the difference in price is the decision you'll have to make.
Thanks smj999smj!
Thanks for the help. I appreciate it. I didn't want to pull hard on the light in case there was a 2nd screw I didn't see.
