How do I replace side turn indicators?

I have finally installed my superwhite fogs, stealth front signals, and now am to the side turn indicators but I cannot come up with a possible way to put in the new bulb. How do I do this?

Thanks

Mike

Not so red and white cooper guy showed me. He just reached inside and pushed the side louver part out from the inside. Seemed really easy. I didn't do it myself, but I don't think there's a trick to it. Just push out from the inside. MIKE PREDINA

yep, push on the leading edge (front of the car) of the vent and it pops out, slide it forward, disconnect the wire and the buld holder twists out.

IF all you are doing is putting in the new bulb, you should not remove the whole grille.

Grab the oval lens and slide it towards the back of the car (you will notice that it is sort of spring loaded. When it is pushed back as far as it will go, you can easily pry the front side of the lens out of the housing and the rest of it will follow.

Easy as pie. . . it really is, but it is one of those things that is a LOT easier once you get it out and see how it goes together .. . .

If you do need to remove the whole grille, I can help with that too

Be gentle. I've had my lens in and out maybe two times, and the plastic tab that keeps it in has a small hairline crack on it already.
