Changing running lights/blinkers in 01' T/A...
Hey guys,
I'm suffering from a mild case of mental retardation. How the hell do I change the blinker in my 01' WS6? I can't seem to get to it from the top, and the bottom looks like I have to tear off half of the under carriage to get to it. Any suggestions?
My other problem is, my pssgr blinker stopped wokring, though the parking light still works. That made the blinker tick very slowly, or not at all. Yesterday, my driver side blinker stopped working. Very slow ticking at first, then delayed ticking, then not at all. What are the chances that both of my blinkers went at relatively close to the same time? I just found it kinda odd.
Anyway, looks like I'll be changing both bulbs in either side. Somebody clue me in!
Mike

I think on my TA when I changed the lights I turned on the headlights to make them come up and when there up gives you a little room to get to the runing lights Hope this helps

I asked the same question 2 days ago... You can get at the running lights from the hole directly under the running light. If you don't really understand now you will once you try it. Rotate the housing counter-clockwise and it will pop off. Replace the bulb, then put the housing back in.

WOW glad this post was here. I couldnt figure out how to get the darn things out. I tried rotating both ways at first but wasn't even sure it was the right thing. Actually on mine I had to rotate clockwise on the driverside - i dont remember which way on the passenger side. Anyways you ALSO have to squeeze the little piece of plastic on there to allow it to rotate or it will not rotate far enough. Lastly the blinkers do have to work on brighter and dimmer. My drivers side was completely out, but passenger side - only the flash was out. I had 3 lights go out at the same darn time - but I also just drove 3000 miles back and forth to Florida.

I just got a trans am 2 weeks ago and my drivers side blinker/day time running light went out, when i changed the bulb a lot of water came out. I checked the passengers side light and the same thing happened. I was wondering if this is a common thing, and if anyone knows how to fix it.
