Thumbs down Replace Turn signal bulbs 99 3.5 RL

How do you replace the front turn signal bulbs? Someone else asked about replacing the headlamp bulbs, and was told to remove battery, etc, and then twist the connector out. But that approach does not seem to expose the sockets for the turn signal bulbs, which are to the outside of the headlamp assembly.

There are two screws above it, and one below it, which, if removed, simply gives it play. Seems like it is still secured near the fender. And even if it was loose, it seems to me that it won't come out that way.

Please don't tell me the fender or bumper must be removed. But right now, that's the only way I see to get to it.

Thanks in advance.

To replace them you need to peel back the plastic fender lining in the wheel well. Im not sure if you have the owners manual, but i says how to do it in there. No need to remove anything.

Thanks for the info, but it is too late. I took the car to Acura for some other work, and had them replace the bulb ($75). They told me the bumper had to come off. I have misplaced my owner's manual, but don't recall reading that in it when I had it. Sure glad to know it in case the other side goes out.
