Front Turn turn indicator lights

OK, I give up, How do you replace a burned out bulb in the front turn indicators?

I replaced the ones in the back, that was pretty straight forward.

Thanks

You can remove headlight body. Let hang down then theirs 2 screw one on top and one on bottom. And a spring. You can take whole thing out.

An alternative way is to remove the access panel under the front fascia on each side and you have full access to the turn signal bulbs.

This is a method also, if your hands are small enough, I tried it and my paws are just too big...

Just make sure you squeeze the lock tap on the bulb socket before you rotate the bulb socket from the housing.

I'm with you on this one Vetteman, only not as an alternative but the easiest way to do it. It only requires removing 8 tiny screws. It requires a 7 or 8mm 1/4 in drive socket and ratchet, a short extension will make it easier. Makes it an easy job to do.

The only I mentioned that way I have a ZO6 lowered. I tried that first but it was a pain in the ****. So I got my roller chair and headed that way. Now I have done it that way 4-5 times. I am getting pretty good at it. Easy peasy.

with the advice you've been given already.

This post describes the 3 most common ways to do this, and it includes illustrations so you could visualize where you are going.

I do it through the bottom panel, without removing the tire or jacking up the car, although a ramp or a piece of wood to raise it a couple of inches would make it easier
