Changing Left side Blinker Pictures?
I remember seeing pictures of the process... I know how to do it but cant figure out where the bulb is?
I have so far taken out the white bulb as well as the Fog light bulb but cant seem to find a damn yellow bulb. Where is it, or are there pictures?

It's pretty easy to do.
Manually raise headlight.
Remove the 3 screws holding the black plastic bezel around the headlight & remove the bezel.
Reach your hand down in there and near where the lens is on the outside, you'll feel the bulb socket - I believe it goes in pointing up.
Turn socket to unlock it - remove bulb, coat contacts on new with dielectric grease and snap it in.
Replace and lock socket.
Put headlight bezel back on.
Took me about 1/2 hour for both sides.

There's a tab on the outer edge of the bulb socket that you need to push in while turning the socket. The tab locks the socket in place.
Just feel around the ouside of the socket and you should be able to find it. It sounds alot harder than it is.
Once you have it, it comes out real easy - just don't force anything.
Good luck.

First, put on some type of heavier mechanics or leather garden type glove so you don't cut your hands if the bulb breaks.
I held the bulb so my fingers were holding the bulb on the edges of the flat base & then rocked it back and forth snapping one side out at a time.
Hope this helps.

Just realized I misread your reply.

Just installed the clear Europeans and they are great.
BTW there are also flat O ring washers on both. Just press in tab and turn. I couldn't reach in to pull and place the bulb, big forearms and short wire, so I used a spark plug wire puller to pull and install.
Small bulb is easire than the big bulb.
