Help with front turn signals
Can someone give me some help on how to remove the orange front turn signal bulbs? Do I have to remove the entire headlight lens or do I go through the wheel well like I did with the clear corner lenses? Thanks very much,

As for the amber bulbs in the front turn signals, no need to remove the headlight assembly. To access them, you have to remove the fuse box cover in the engine compartment on the driver's side to access that bulb, and the ECU cover on the passenger side to access that bulb. And even then, it's a bitch to reach them, but have patience and you WILL get it, just as I did. I replaced my turn signal bulbs with "stealth" chrome bulbs.
Hope this helps! :D

I tried doing it the same way I installed my JDM side markers(behind the wheel) and I found this way to be much easier. Thanks for the help though
