Replacing turn signal lights
I must say I just did this yesterday and the easiest way, after researching many ideas on the Internet, was to go in through the air duct located under the the front blinkers (I have seen this called the brake duct). My hand was too big, but my son Keith was able to get his arm in there with no problem.
If you open the headlights, you can guide the person to it by watching through the space under the headlight.... with the hood open. Unfortunately, I didnt see a clip, so now I am wondering if we missed something. I read about a clip having to be removed in other posts.
Took about 3 mins to change out, but 3 trips to AutoZone to finally get the right bulb!!!! Good luck. I have only had my vette for a week, and proud to be part of the Corvette family.

I got to mine by popping the headlights up , then removing the 3 screws that hold the black surround around the headlight , then remove the surround .
this will give you just enough room to reach in there.
I removed the wrong light bulb the first time
but now i know better .
