blinker bulbs....argh!!!!!
i just cleared my lights and i wanna change the blinker bulbs.... only problem is, i can't get my fuggin' hand in there to pull it out!!! is there a way i can replace the bulb without removing the whole bumper again cause just get the bumper off was like [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]
Well, Kinda.... You have to do it through your wheel well but you have to pull a few of those clip thingys out to seperate the wheel well from the bumper so you can fit your hand/arm through there. It's kinda a pain but that's how myself and a few others have done it. Good luck!

Rep Power: 0 not really have to do that, maybe I have skinny arms, I can reach the it from the gap under the hood. but it's kinda pain. make sure you put some lotion on your arms. or you can use something to twist it out from the gap... well, up to you...

Rep Power: 0 i wouldn't change the bulbs i changed the relay, its what makes the blink.
most blinky bulbs add a lot of draw from the battery
there's a good chance you'll screw up the electrical system . or always have moister on the inside of the light.
the relay is easier and safer and won't fault your warrenty.
its located in the fuse box under the steering collum .
it is about as easy as changing a fuse
for a site to get relays on just about any car try http//:www.hyperblinker.com/

Rep Power: 0 Have any of you actually looked in the owners book that came with your car? Heh it has step by step instructions on how to change all of your bulbs in there, including the blinkers. Its a really nifty thing, try opening your glove box some time and looking at it [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 I changed my blinker bulbs the other day and I broke both clips on the fender wells, and I also cracked the black plastic wheel well! It pissed me off. I don't know if its covered under warranty or not, it was cold outside but still I didn't think it should crack like that. I'm waitin to hear from my dealership.
