Front driver side blinker is out
I'm wondering how easy the replacement is. Is it just taking out the old bulb(s?) and screwing in new ones, and if so how hard is it to get the clear housing off and get to the light.
Is this something someone with no mechanical experience who wants to start working on his car can do? And if so, how do I do it?

Its not hard to change if you have a small hand! If you have large hands you may want to take the wheel off to get to it, that's what I had to do.
Also, I noticed you have an 05, there's a TSB out for the turn signal sockets working intermittently. I had to have mine replaced.

I'm sorry...TSB?
I'd say my hands are probably mid-sized...is there any kind of trick to taking off the wheel? Is there some kind of wiring for the tire pressure monitor that connects it to the axel or something I have to disconnect, or is it relatively straightforward?

The bulbs on my 05 both[left and right] gave me problems. I would remove and replace with the same bulb and they would work for a while.Finally just replaced both with new bulbs and the problem was solved.
