Uhh...

1. Reach down behind the headlight assembly
2. Find turn signal bulb socket with hand.
3. Turn socket till it pops out.
4. Replace bulb.
5. Reinstall socket, turn.

This **** really is rocket science...

actually you can't get it from inside like that. I get it by reaching through the hole under the turn signal (brake cooling ducts...most likely bug suckers) and getting it through there. There is also an access door you can unbold under the bumper which makes it alot easier.

Thanks Philhawk02. There are numerous ways to fix something. The wise idiot goes to someone who knows the simple way to do the job without busting his knuckles, or the parts you can't see from up above. Your way was the best. A couple of bolts and you got it. Thanks again

I just unscrew some of those plastic panels behind the bumper and reach up in there. In fact, my left one just went out, so I need to do it when I get home :p
