I hate to pop your bubble dude but obviously you've never removed the passenger side headlight assy on a 2002 Z/28.

I didnt take out the assembly, just the lamps. It had one long screw going through the middle holding it in. Wasn't a big deal, might of just been mine I dunno.

I just reach through the air intake holes underneath the housings; but, I drive a WS6 so my front fascia is a tad different.

You don't need pics, just look under your front end. You will see a closed flap that has two screws attached to it, unscrew and the flap falls out. Within 5min. you can change both turn signal bulbs.

I have never heard of taking out your headlights to change the turn signals, that is insane!!!!
