Default Replacing Front Turn Signal Housings

Do I need to take the front bumper cover off to remove the turn signal housings? :o

Oh, you use the same access hatch as when you change out the turn signal bulbs?

I got mine out of the top, by the headlight, but I had to get pretty violent with it. I accidentally dropped the bulb down into the housing. What a way to kill an evening. Next time I will look for this "hatch". I was too frustrated to think rationally last time. I also have a Z28, which is probably different than your "Sex on Wheels" Trans Ams.
