Cool 2012 replace turn signal housing

I haven't had a chance to look yet, but I assume that this housing it removed from the rear and hopefully can be done without removing the whole bumper cover.

Morning commute was in the left lane with no where to go, looked like a foam cup coming at me, with the sound it made I'm guessing it was probably a chunk of PVC .. blinker looks to have taken the brunt of the damage, awaiting a quote on the replacement, I'm guessing the dealer is going to quote me around 100 for the housing itself.

Anyone know if the part numbers are the same or different for '09-11' ? and the '12?

Just called the dealer, about 60 bucks, not too too bad. Will be in tomorrow.

OK, that was the so much easier then I had figured, didn't even have to remove the under tray. Was able to get at the one bolt (10mm) from under the car without removing a thing, popped in out in less then 10 minutes.

Can you give me more details on how you saw the bolt? Here is a picture of mine under it.

I was able to see it from the gap in front of the radiator (at least that's the case for the drivers side, didn't check pass)

Where the white arrow is pointing should be the nut
