How to remove the front corner light?

My right front marker light went out on me. I looked under the hood but there is no access from the engine bay. Do you have to pull down the fender liner to access the bulb? I really hope the headlight does not have to come out. That would be ludicrous. Thanks guys

you must start by removing the hood, then the front bumper, then lift the engine/radiator/washer fluid assebly/blah blah blah...










turn your wheel all the way to right or left, depending on which corner bulb you want to take out, pop out those plastic locking tabs and reach your hand up in there, pull the signal out.

Thanks a lot Bennett, I guess I should have read the whole post before I started the job. I removed the fender, hood, and front bumper and then I read that I had to remove the motor so I was a bit confused and decided to read on. Guess I will put everything back together and just reach inside the fender well to access the plug.

Haha, thanks for the info

... ... that seriously made me laugh that you actually removed all that before realizing something was up... well at least u got the job done. The only thing you would need to remove the bumper for is to change your ballast or take apart your headlights. otherwise than that corner bulbs can be reached from inside the fender going from bottom, as previously stated... and welcome to AZINE!!!

Kudos nbennettksu... that was pretty funny.

I was joking guys, thats what the haha was in there for. Im glad you all got a kick out of it though. I would have to be an absolute idiot to do all that work. My first move tonight would have been to remove half of the fender well and see if it was accessible that way but I thought I might as well ask and see what insight I could find. You would be amazed at some of the crap I had to do on other cars to get to something this simple. Gotta love those Honda n Acura's.

Cheers
