Default !!front turn signals!!!

ok, this **** has me frustrated!! is there an easy way of removing the front turn signals??Do i have to take off the head light? im doing this because water gets in the lense and blows the bulb so i want to seal it up and clean out the inside(old broken bulbs inside) THAKSS for any help you can give.

O ya, i had to take off the headlight to do it, but it was like 2 screws and they were out...

I always jacked the front of the car up and done it from underneath. Undo the splash guards and there they are to take out/replace/whatever u wanna do with 'em, drill some small holes in the front lenses of the turn signals so that water can escape and not build up. Dont touch the bulbs when installing, if ya do, rub them off after ya put 'em in....residue from your fingers can cause 'em to bust. Dont really know what else to say

mine just blew out recently as well. I think it was because it had pool of water in the lense, not sure though.

Never tried it on the newer ls1 cars but on my 96 Z28 it was a pain...Thats funny though...my 01 TA WS6 does the same thing...leaks into the housing and blows the bulb.

yeah you take the bolt out and slide the whole assembly towards the center of the car releasing the housing, and before replacing try polishing,
