Arrow Front Turn Signal Light

How do you get the front turn signal light bulb out to change it? I tired to reach under the front grill, I can touch it but I can't get it to twist out. I tried to turn left and than to the right. How do the piece that hold the bulb come out? I don't want to go to a dealership to have a light bulb changed. Thanks in advance.

There is a release tab on the side of the socket that must be pressed in while you turn it. If you arent familiar with how that socket works, pull a tail light out...they have the same type of release socket...this will allow you to get a better look at how it works.

Did you remove the headlight? Makes everything easier.

**** just remove the whole bumper.... that is much easier than jamming your hand in there and trying not to drop the bulb somewhere

Thanks, I got it out and changed the bulb and it didn't work. The connector had a lot of rust, so I guess I have to replace it.
