  • replacing left front turn signal

    my front left turn signal went out and I have no idea how to get to it. My dad looked at it and had no idea and didnt want to **** up my car. I have the bulbs....and need to fix it before tonight. Anyone know how to fix it??

    The front running light/turn signal? You have to get under the car. There is a little access panel you have to remove. Then you reach up and twist the bulb housing out and there ya go!

      yes, you have to do it from underneath the car. All that black plastic under there... its all splash shielding. It will take a bit of time, but it comes out fairly easy. once thats out of the way, it will be self explanatory how to change the bulb.

          dunno if its like mine but on mine i just had like 3 or four screws to take out and i had a lil flap thing of that splash panel that i could just pull back, then i could just stick my hand up in there to change them..

              no u dont ahve to get under the car, on a 98+ camaro its easier to unbolt the headlight from above and it gives you tons of room

                Pulling the headlight is another way. I just always did it threw the access panel provided. Shit, bring the bulb and some tools out to woodward and i frigging change it for you lol.

                  Ya,Its WAY easier to just take out 1 bolt on the backside of the headlight,slide it toward the center of the car and pop it out....the corner light is RIGHT there,wide open....15 minutes tops!

                      could be the flasher, thats a cheap and easy fix as well.

                          take off the 4 screws holding on the plastic piece beneath the steering column, should be on the right hand side. Its a silver cylinder. Unplug the old one and replace it with the new. My new one just magnetically stock back on and I was set.
