Under the car in front of the front tires there are some bolts holding a rubber vented flap. Unscrew those bolts and pull the flap down. This will give you access to the turn signal. That is if you have an f-body?

The flaps are underneath the car secured by bolts Just unscew the flaps and take the bulb out of the housing and replace with i believe a #357 bulb you can get at Auto Zone. If u need help just let me know and i can help you out. Ive replaced mine many of times

Take out the headlight, its one 10 mm bolt, the headlight comes out and you got access to everything thats hard to get to. The headlight comes out in 2 minutes flat!
