Default Front blinker question WITH picture



I've read up and trying to replace the front right blinker bulb. Got the orange bulb and can get access from the headlight (as you can see from the picture) My only problem is where is the orange bulb currently located and how do i remove. I'm not sure how to remove (whether it be twist and pull/unscrew...). Hope to hear back soon!

Thanks,
Joe

If there is a tab that needs to be pressed to unlock and release the bulb where is it and what type of tab should I be pressing to disengage this bulb.

Push in and twist counter clockwise - when you re-install it, it can only go in one way (it has a keyway to it)

Line yourself up with where it is at on the outside of the Vette and reach in and you'll have it, if not lift the Vette and remove the triangular shield and access it from the bottom (better view too)

Thanks,Matt

Ok i found the light and the tab, when i try and twist im not sure if im supposed to twist WITH the electrical tab or something else is supposed to twist. BTW how much strenght was needed to twist it - I tried to but wasnt sure if i was supposed to put my hulk strenght into it or not..

Thanks,
Joe

I can get in there and grab the light and get it fine, just when i get ahold and push the tab in and then twist the bottom of the **** where the wires go into the base it just wont crank counter-clockwise.
