DIY turn signal bulb replacement???
How easy is it to replace a burned out turn signal bulb? My left front bulb went out. The owner's manual seems to strongly dicourage changing bulbs.
But how hard is it to do this? It looks like the headlamp sheild is held in place by a couple of torx screws.
Can I just remove these screws and get access to the bulb?

How easy to replace blinker bulb? I'd say it's as easy as your hands are small.
Seriously - the smaller the hands, the easier it is. If you've got kids, you might want to put them to work.
For each headlamp, there's a flatish, gray plastic handle that extends into the engine compartment. You turn it and it comes loose holding the bulb. Switch to the new bulb, and pop it back in.
Very simple, except there's not much space for big hands.

its pretty easy, just make sure you insert the bulb properly...there is a slight chance it...
can fall into the housing if you havent pushed it in and turn clockwise.
You may have to move 1 plastic fan piece, but thats it. Once you locate the bulb prong just turn it until it becomes loose.
