Headlight bulb help!
Headlight bulb help!
One of my front turn signal bulbs recently just went out. Last time I changed my bulb I had to take off my front bumper and take out my headlights just to change my bulb. This is such a hassel and I want to know if anyone know an easier solution. For some apparent reason my right turn signal bulb doesn't turn easy to lock in. No I'm not a weak person! I changed my H4 bulbs all the time! Anyone has any quick and easy solution to this? I also might want to change my 194 bulb in my front headlights. So same question goes to that since its pretty down under the headlight assembly.

I do this by jacking up the front of the car.
Then remove the tire on the same side as the dead light.
Now unclip the front portion of the inner fender skirt.
Pull the fender skirt back and the back of the headlight will be revealed.
If you have small enough arms, you might be able to do this by pointing the tire out and squeezing in between it and the fender. I just think it is easier to remove the tire all together.

Re: Headlight bulb help!
just read the owners manual. it tells you to just pull back the fender liner and stick your hand in. its easier if you take off the bumper screw in that spot and pull the bumper off just a little, like the side clips only to give more room.
I've replaced my bulbs through the tires before. However, by doing so I also broke the clips that attaches the fender liners. Those suckers are freakin hard to take out. Maybe I am just taking them out the wrong way. Anyway, does anyone know where I can get them "clips", and what exactly are they called?
