hey i want to change my front turn signal bulbs...but i dont know how 2 if i remove the wheel...and the other way is removing your headlights...which i also cant figure out

can some1 help me out here....is there any DIY instructions or anything?

 

ALL you want to do is to change the light bulbs? (turning signals) ??

 

Removing the front wheel well is A LOT easier than the bumper to get to it. There are about 3 or 4 of those clips in the wheel well. Remove those and then yank the plastic back until you can put ur hand thru. I think it shows u in the manual. If not, removing the bumper.... i'll find it for you.

This should give u an idea. It sucks that the www.abunchofcars.com website hasn't paid their bill otherwise it would of been a better DIY.

 

thx again bxscig...appreciate all yur help for everything

i didnt know u had to take all the black crap out to get to the light (after taking the wheel off)...i guess ill try that

thanks again

 

forgive me but im totally lost, if all you want is to change your turning signal bulb why do you have to do all that extra pointless work taking of the wheel, the bumper, whatever?

example, if you are chaning your right bulb, turn the wheel all the way to the left, that will give you more than enough space to reach the bulb area. Take out the 3-4 clips, pull the rubber out, and use your hand to get to the bulb, its a 30 second procedure.

good luck.

 

You do not need to remove the wheel lol You can turn the wheel all the way to one side to give you more room but you DONT HAVE TO REMOVE THE WHEEL!! Take 3 or 4 clips off and then bend the wheel well enough to put your hand in. I'll take pictures later if I pull the car out if you havent dont it already. I believe it is in the manual too.

 

yupz, changing bulbs doesn't require you to remove the wheel or bumper. 4 clips off the wheel well like bxscig said

 

The way you put it before the poor kid probably took the wheels off already

 

lol thanks guys....its cool i havent done it yet....kuz i thought taking the wheel off was a little too much so i got lazy...but now that i know i dont have to...imma do it soon

haha thanks again guys

 

hey guys i need some help....i took the 4 clips off but i still cant get to the bulb...i can barely fit my hand in there...what do i do now

 

umm, did your turn the wheel completely away from you? I wish i had a pic to show you where the clips are, there are two clips right by the edge of the fender, and there is one facing you in the corner right the opposite of you- look toward the front of the fender, after that pull the rubber out as much as you can, use a flashlight so you know where u r sticking your hand. and it does require some streching of the arm and a little bit of pain, i spend too much time in the gym, so my hands arent that slim... But if I can do it, you def. can.

i'll try to get a pic later...but just look around for the damn clips, the more clips off, the easier for you.

 

the clips werent the problem bro...it was the fact that i didnt pull the stupid plastic all the way

anyways...i got them in...so ill take pics and show u guys later how it looks

thanks for all yur help

 

i told you to PULL PULL PULL the rubber covering.

peace.

 

deyum imagine if a person who had no car knowledge had to replace his bulbs and had no idea how to. thought he had to take the wheel off every time a new bulb was needed. that would suck. thankfully we have A-TL.com!!

 

OR go to the dealer to change it and pay $45 for it.
