i don't believe you can reach the turn signals from under the hood...

there is just no space, and the turn signal bulbs are larger than the parking lights.

I'll try to explain it a lil, but it's hard without pictures.
- jack up the front of the car so you have space in the wheel well
- unscrew the fasteners in the wheel well, in the middle area behind the headlight.
- pull the plastic liner back and you'll expose the rear of the headlight assembly.
- the bulb socket located at the outer corner is the turn signal bulb. quarter turn to left (i think) to loosen.
- replace bulb, insert back, reverse install.

you dont need to jack it up just turn the wheel so you can unscrew the plastic in the wheel well peel it open and find the turn signal i have the stealth blubs in its fairly simple
easier than the parking lights IMO

true you don't need to jack up the car. it just gives you more room to work with if your stock. turning the wheel is easier and quicker if there is enough room for you.

I never changed the bulbs when i was stock, and since im modded, it gets pretty tight there that i usually just take off the wheels if i have to do it. lol...it scrapes the hell out of my hands if i just turn the wheel...

You can change the bulbs from the hood.. at least I did. You do have to take off the ecu cover to get that side.. but it can be done.
