Parking Lense Replacement
The turning signal bulb shattered within the right parking lense/can anybody assist in how to remove the lense? The dealership wants too much to get into the lense and replace the bulb. Tks

It is common for the bulb to explode due to water dripping on it.The bulb heat burns through the top of the lense allowing water to drip on the bulb 
There are 3 7mm screws retaining the lamp.To access them,remove the lower panel under the bumper,rearward of the side air dam.You are going to find that you need a new lense assembly.

As above but the lens itself is held on at the bottom edge by a 10mm bolt on the outside and a 7mm on the inside. Unhook the supporting spring and out it comes. The unit has a plastic shroud on top that unbolts using two 7mm bolts. Bolt your new lens in, twist in the bulbholders and rebolt back where it came from making sure you rehook the support spring.

I agree but if you have a friend that has a lift, your back will thank you.
It's a whole lot easier to access standing up under the lift that reaching around...(been there, done that)
