What do you have... Camaro, Firebird, Tahoe...?

On my 02 Camaro, I'd remove the headlight first. The socket is about a 1/4 turn style.

I'm guessing it's not a 4th gen firebird. Our front turn signals are easy to replace.

I just did drivers side front TS on '98 Camaro. You need to remove the black plastic cover from underneath the car to gain access to the bulb and white plastic housing. This allows more arm room to reach up and twist the bulb and it will come out. On mine the housing was all corroded from moisture.

It is SUPER easy to change the turn signal if you pull the headlight out. The headlight comes outin like 15 seconds.

to me the easiest way is just to take off a couple of the bolts that hold the plastic on in front of the air dam stick your hand in there and youll feel the bulb.
