How in the hell do you change the front turn signal bulb in a 01 Sport? The socket is not exposed like the headlight bulbs are and the maintenance manual is no help. Do you have to take half the front fender off to get to it?

There is metal panel right next to the headlight bulb from inside of the engine, (covering the spot where you would normally twist and pull the turn signal bulb) and looking underneath the inner fender wheel well is in place. Impossible to access. I never seen anything like this before!

Wait, it just registered what you said, you mean the whole lens assembly twists off?

One screw holds it on on the side.

See that tab under that yellow part of the light that is held on by a screw undo that and it will come out. Than turn the light head and the bulb should come out.

The best way to figure out how something is put together or where bolts/srews go is to go on the internet and do a Google image search. It'll show you different angles so you have an idea as to how it goes together. Thats what I do, but it's just a suggestion.

Thanks for all the direction. I think (maybe) that I got it now. I will go out and try it today, I just hope I don't break something in the task!
