The bulbs go in through the socket behind the housing. Im assuming you mean the housing is cracked?

The turn signals are WAY easier to get to if you take out the headlights.

The housings are attached to the body with screws. I access them through the convenient openings that GM put under the vehicle; one on each side. Some, I guess take out the head lights and access it that way. I find it easier to just jack up the car.

Be careful tightning the screws. If you overtighten they will break.
