Default How to change blinker bulb?

Front passenger side turn signal is blown... do I just unscrew the headlight and pull it out, and pop out the socket?

Default It's been awhile, but that sounds right. Four screws to remove the lamp....m...

and on the passenger side, I don't recall if you need to remove part of the intake or not. I think you don't. I want to say they molded an opening to get a screw driver in there (torx).

You only need to loosen the back two screws in the bay and slide the assembly out. The top two screws you can remove.

Make sure it's DOT 4 compliant.

Unfortunately, it appears they're out of stock on that item... so you're gonna have to do it the hard way.

Seriously though... you have to remove the headlight module (4 torx screws - 2 on the top, 2 on the bottom back), but to get to all the screws, you've got to remove the air intake duct (two phillips screws just in front of the rubber seal at the top of the grill, then pull apart). The turn signal bulb is in it's own little holder on the side - turn to unlock.

But, if your car is like mine, the bulb may not even be burnt out! Mine has the tendency to spark once a year or so (did it last week in fact) across the bulb contacts, which leaves a coating of carbon which then breaks the electrical connection. A little light sanding from some 400 grit paper and it's good as new for a while! This is probably the 6th time this has happened, and only once was the bulb actually burnt out...
