Default TA Turn Signal / Running Lamp ~ NEED HELP!

My passenger side front turn signal / running lamp was recently cracked, and I purchased a new lamp housing to replace the old one. However, I need assistance on the best way to install????

Can it be reached from underneath or through the engine bay????

I would like to get this replaced within the week, so any assistance would be much appreciated.

Underneath, you can try it thru the access panel (2 10mm bolts IIRC), but I found just unclipping the plastic from the nose, and pulling it down was the easier way for me

It can be gotten out pretty easily from the bottom.

Remove the 2 10mm bolts on the access panel. Then you basically just have to feel where the two small bolts are that hold the housing in. They are either 6 or 7mm I can't remember. After those two are out, out comes the light.

Similar issue, except with a camaro, im actually trying to remove mine as well, i dont know if there the same for all the camaro's but i have an 02, trying to get it out of there produces 2 dead ends, each side of the signal housing seems to get caught on the bumper or the fog light bracket. is there any trick to actually getting it out? i had it all apart last night angling it every which way and had no success

You are correct; 7mm for the bolts holding the housing. 10mm bolts to open the access door. Thanks for the tips everyone! I just replaced my housing and bulbs quiet easily thank to you!
