Passenger Side Driving Light Not Working

My passenger side driving light quit working and the right turn signal blinks rapidly. I thought it was just a burned out bulb and went to replace it, but I can't figure out how to get to the bulb. Any ideas on how to reach the bulb?

Thanks,

Tom

The rear turn signals are a piece of cake. The bulbs twist about 1/4 turn before coming out of their housings. The isn't much slack in the wires, so don't yank on them. The bulbs pull straight out of their sockets. It is a minor PITA job to do the fronts. If your fog lights are burned out, you can reach through the front brake air inlets to get to them.

Good luck

I removed my front light bezel and than reached through there. Just put your lights up manually so you don't burn your arm.

A couple of comments:

If you turn on your headlights and then back them off one notch they stay up.

One has to press a tab while turning to get the front bulbs/holders out.

Don't touch the new bulbs with your bare fingers/hands. Wear a surgical glove or equivalent. Body oils decrease bulb life.
