dude, it's a turn signal, it shouldn't take 2 hours. I replaced a side marker, a 3rd brakelight, a reverse light, 2 front turn signals, 1 rear turn signal, and a foglight bulb.. in about 40 minutes. to do the front turn signals, take the headlight assembly out.

Take out the headlight first, everything should be easy access to you like a woman w/ spread legs.

Are you serious?


Or are you talking about just the bulbs...?





I don't know why everyone says it's easy. Took me three hours to do both of mine.

5 minutes to unbolt/get headlight out, the rest to jimmy that POS.


I ended up removing the four bumper cover bolts and bending it outward slightly to get the signal housing to clear that damned metal bracket thing.

Yeah the bulbs for each. Not the assemblies, sorry if I was being confusing.

Ah, makes more sense now.


I think he wanted to know how to remove the assemblies though.

you have to just press the damn things in, it is impossible to describe in words the correct technique but you kind of need to push on your fenders where they join, the spot where the signals catch and wont go past. if you push on them really hard with an object that wont damage the lip, they will move back and give you just enough room to slam the signals in. sorry i dont have any pics to show you.
