How do you change the front signal bulbs???

Hey guys, I was wondering if anybody knew how to change the front two signal bulbs??? I tried looking in the 3G garage section, but nothing was listed for front signal bulbs. I was just curious.....just in case if i had to replace it in the future. Thanks.

Edit: need4speedposted later on that it is in the owner's manual, which I completely forgot. See page 213 for instructions, which give you a shortcut and are more complete and easier to understand.

First, you have to remove the inner fender. See scan below.

For the turn signal: disconnect the connector, turn the bulb socket 45 degrees counterclockwise, and remove it.

For the side marker light: Carefully push out the light from behind the fender. This is an led light, so there is no bulb to replace.

Look in the owners manual, you do not have to remove the whole liner, they designed a section to be able to pull away from the fender and reach in to get to the bulbs (you have to turn the wheel a certian way too, but much better than removing the whole liner

Are your headlights cleared? If they aren't its a waste of money to change the bulbs. You wont notices a difference in color.

Good catch. I completely forgot the instructions are in the owner's manual. Guess I'm so used to looking in the service manual for this kind of stuff.

I edited my post above to include the owner's manual information.
