Default Turn signal lamp replacement?

Does anyone have quick advice (or link) on how I replace my right front signal lamp? doesn't appear I can get at it from the front lens..do I have to remove the inner fender to gang access to the lamp? Thanks in advance.

I’ve replaced 4 left ones in the past 2 months so this is how I do it. Look in you’re brake duct from the front of the car. You can pull the duct down out of you’re way. Reach in and grab the bulb holder. There is a little tab towards the back, push in on the tab and turn Counter clockwise. You can then pull the assembly out and replace the bulb. Some guys have said DON’T touch the bulb! Make sure it works first and then just stick it back in and twist clockwise till the tab snaps in place! I can replace one quicker than it took me to type this!

All this will work if you’re hand will fit through the hole, other wise you have to go another route.

No... 1. Open hood 2. Put headlights up. 3. Now you can reach the bulb from the top.

if you have big forearms, steps 1 and 2, then remove the headlight bezel, then you can reach the bulb from the top

Remove the bezel, anyway, big arms or not. I got my arm in ok, then got stuck on the way out! Very embarassing (to myself) almost called out for the wife, painful too It's only 3 screws

Hey sorry to go a little off topic, but the signal lights...is there any that are sold in white instead of the orange? I dont like the orange cover at all and I think it look much better in white cover. If there isnt any then I will have to just black it out.

Thanks for all the help and sorry for going off-topic.
