How do you change the 7443 bulbs? (front turn signal)

I would like to put amber 7443 bulbs in now that I've driven with my DIY cleared front headlights for 5 months with clear bulbs. Do I have to take everything apart again to change the turn signal bulbs OR is there an easier way? I can't seem to find an easy way to access the 7443's. Please help!

Thanks in advance!

Turn your steering wheel all the way one way, whichever side you are doing first. Next, inside your fenderwell are the same little plastic "plugs" that are on the underside of your bumper. Take most of those out so you can pull the side of the bumper from the plastic fenderwell black piece. Once you have enough of those "plugs" taken out, you should be able to reach inside your engine compartment from your fenderwell to access the bulbs. Just a matter of "unlocking" by twisting the plug ('s). Good luck!

I'm sure there are other ways to do it too, but that is the way I do it so anybody else who has done this and can give good detailed instructions POST UP!

I don't know the point of putting in amber bulbs when you spent all that time clearing the headlights ...it's not going to look as good as using Xenon blue...I've got all Xenon blue bulbs on my car right know and if the damn weather would stop snowing, maybe I could get outside in the warmth to clear my headlights!!

<< I don't know the point of putting in amber bulbs when you spent all that time clearing the headlights >>



The main reason is so you will still be legal. I cleared my headlights and I got pulled 2 days later for having white turn signals. So I had to go out and buy orange bulbs. I'm waiting to see if it is worth it to get the clear LED turn signals that light up orange. That would look tight

Anyone have info on that? Sounds very good looking way to stay legal if orange is required where you live...
