Default Replacing Front Turn Signal Blinker Bulb

After 6 years my '05 needs the passenger side front turn signal blinker bulb to be replaced. How difficult?

Moderately, according to others here. See pages 5-45 and 5-46 of your 2005 owner's manual.

To replace a high-beam or front parking/turn signal bulb,
do the following:
1. Turn the wheel to allow access to the wheel well.
2. Access the high-beam or front parking/turn signal
bulbs by removing the access panel. To do this,
remove the three outer fasteners and flip back
the cover.
3. Remove the outer cover to expose the high-beam
headlamp bulb socket once the access cover has
been removed.
4. Remove the headlamp bulb by releasing the outer tabs from
the socket.
Remove the front parking/turn signal bulb by turning
the bulb socket counterclockwise.
6. Replace the high-beam headlamp bulb with a new
bulb and reattach to the bulb socket.
Replace the front parking/turn signal bulb by turning
the bulb socket clockwise.
7. Reverse the Steps 2 through 4 to reinstall.

It can be a pain to reach in and turn the bulb while holding the retaining tab. Here's a link with pictures:

there's other threads on it, just search "changing drl"

Make sure you look at the socket when you pull the bulb out. If it is scorched looking, you may need to replace the harness. I think 05s and some 06s had this issue. I had to change my drivers' DRL harness about 3 weeks after getting my car in 09.

They left out a "minor detail" which is documented on the forum link on another response.

Remove the front parking/turn signal bulb by turning
the bulb socket counterclockwise

will not occur unless you press the lock latch, which of course you can't see.
