Default How Do You Change the Front Turn Signal Bulb?

I looked it over and can't figure out how to change the bulb. Any access that I'm missing?

very difficult, but get someone (girlfriend or kid) and look in the manual. If you can get an arm down in between your hood with it up and your headlight (up) you will see the plug and can change it easily it just takes a small hand.
I'm skinny so i was able to do mine myself with just a little skin lost :rolleyes:

It is very simple to do: remove the pastic shroud around the headlamp... the black plastic thingie with the big round plug in it... its held in place by 3 phillips screws.,. here is the trick.. remove the hood stop just to the side of the head lamp.. its threaded wwith a lock nut ans a rubber stopper 0n top. Now you can reach right in there and a quarter turn will remove the bulb socket... if you have a little mirror you can easily see it... I did mine last week.. if I had to do it again I could comp;lete this in about 6 or 6 minues,
Goos luck.
IM a big guy.... 220 pounds an I could get my arm in there

Thanks for the advice badblack, I just raised the headlight by hand, squinted down there and saw the bulb holder sticking out of the light assembly. Didn't need to take the headlight shroud off just reached down slowly and carefully, twisted the bulb holder no more than 1/8th turn anti-clockwise and out it came.

I removed both indicator and sidelight bulbs then stuck the hose of a vacuum cleaner over the hole to remove the condensation from the lens. I didn't have a faulty bulb but had been wanting to get rid of the condensation inside for months.
