Turn signal lights

Anybody ever change out a front turn signal bulb?

One of mine went out last night and I haven't looked at it yet to see how easy/difficult it is to change.

Can I change just the bulb or do I need to replace the whole unit?

Thanks,
SP

Just change the bulb. It's really not hard but it's easier if you have skinny arms.

pretty easy. you'll see a "door" under the car directly under the lights. remove the bolts holding the "door" closed and swing it open and you're at the back of the housing. the "door" is actually more like a plastic flap. you'll know what i mean when you get under the car.

Don't listen to them. It's easy to get to from the top, tough from the bottom.

Just get a 10mm socket, undo the one bolt that holds in the headlight, slide it out and you have easy access.

Exactly what I was going to say. Pop the headlight out and you've got easier access than you could ever have going from the bottom.

Edit: Whoa, gotta change that sig. GOt rid of that car over a year ago!
