Default how to remove front turn signal?

Ok, I know this is a stupid question with a simple answer. When I went out to my car I noticed that the outer bulb in my passenger front turn signal is burnt out. I would look into how to take it off, but I am at work...its dark...and its raining. Could someone give me the jist on how to remove that housing so I can replace the bulb. I know its simple to do, but I havnt done it before and dont want to take the time to fiddle around and just need to get it done. Thanks

Reach behind and under the headlight, twist the socket, then pull it straight out. Replace bulb without touching it (you can clean with alcohol to make sure it's clean), insert socket, then twist to lock it in place.

I think it's ok to touch the turn signal bulbs. It's just the headlights that you can't touch. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. It's a behach to remove though, torn my arm off.

Better safe than sorry, I clean all of the new bulbs when changing them. It's the last step before re-inserting them.

Thanks man, I thought that was going to be the answer but I wasnt sure. Without going out to my car, I can already tell it is going to be a long stretch and a pain in the ***. Thanks again
