Replacing Blinker Light Well, the Camaro just hit 100k miles and it seems everything electrical is giving me trouble all the sudden, particularly the front right blinker(bulb). Has anyone here had to replace one yet? Do you have to pull anything off? Its a freggin pain to get to and I'm having trouble getting ahold of it to get it unscrewed. . .

Use a 10MM socket...pull down plastic trim ****... and reach up in there! closer towards center of bumper than you would think! Turn 1/4 turn counterclockwise... and pull out old bulb, and plug in new one. Have to do it one handed! Have fun! Just changed mine out. Hardest part is getting new bulb plugged in.

I just pull the headlight, Remove the 2 10mm brace bolts, un hook the headlight electrical connectors and slide the headlight towards the middle of the car (to the left for the right HL, and to the right for the left HL) out comes the HL. Put some dielectric grease in the bulb socket, clean the bulb with alcohol or brake parts cleaner and don't handle the bulb bare handed the oil from your fingers will shorten the bulbs life.
↓ Actually you don't have to re-aim the lights since you don't move the adjustors, my car is lowerd so it is easyer for me to do it from the top.

I've been having a different problem with my front pass. side blinker.. my bulb went out, I replaced it, and about a week later it went out again. replaced it again and it did the same thing. went through 2 bulbs in 2 weeks. Took a look at the connector and you can tell where it's gotten pretty hot because the plastic is slightly melted. I could just replace the connector but.... any opinions on what caused it?
