Default How to replace RH Blinker bulb?

Hey guys, how do you remove the blinker, parking light assembly from the car to replace the blinker bulb? I know its only the bulb because the LH side works fine and the the RH indicator just stays lit telling me most likely its onle the bulb itself, but I cant figure out how to remove the assembly? If you can help me out that would be awesome.

Thanks guys

there is a little access hole under the nose of the car
2 10mm bolts and a little "flap" opens up and you can reach in and find it.

clean the socket out and put some dielectric grease in there before you put the new bulb in.

If your remove the headlight wouldnt that screw up the alignment of the headlight? I tried to reach behind it but the bulb assembly is on top directly underneath the headlight asembly.

Camaro has the access panel. Look on the underside of the fender just in front of the right tire. There are the two bolts and flap that Brandon mentioned. It should be easy to get to with that flap opened up, but as I recall, doing the other side, you have to feel around a bit.

I took my headlight out, they need to be aligned again. It was still easier than tryin to reach under the headlight, my forearm got scratched to hell from the alignment bolt tryin to get the right bulb back in, so i took the headlight out and it was so nice. Just remove the headlight with the 1 bolt and just align them after you reinstall it.

Yeah mine were held in by one screw as well, but my 2 headlights were different. The right side one just had plastic "sliders" where they slid into the metal plate behind the headlight, but the left side had 2 metal ones that were attached by a screw. Im not sure how they got out of alignment, maybe they werent aligned to begin with.

I took my headlamp out and it did not mess up the alignment. I would rather change it standing then trying to crawl under a car as low as F bodies.
