front turn signals
The last time there was thread about how to change the front turn signals, I didn't need it and didn't pay any attention to it. Now I need it. Anyone have the thread or have the instructions on how to do it?
Thanks.

You'll get different advice either to go through the duct or go from underneath. The other option and the one that works for me is:
Turn on the headlights and back off one position to kill the lights.
Unscrew the 3 small screws on the black plastic housing around the headlight. Gently pull the housing clear. Reach down around the headlight unit and release the bulb holder. It unscrews counter clockwise but it has a plastic clip which you need to squeeze to release it. Change the bulb. Reseat the bulb holder and turn until it clicks back in place. Put the plastic housing back in place making sure to locate the small plastic tab in the bracket on the headlamp cover. Replace the 3 screws and close the lights.
10 minute job.

Yep. You have the 3 alternatives. If you have ramps you can access the lamp from below, otherwise you will have to go form above with the method discribed by DeeGee or 'push' the front break air duct out of the way and access it through the opening in the front fender. All of these require flexible rists and small hands.
Best of luck.
