Side Turn Signal on MCS

Simple and probably dumb question. Is this an easy change? Does the egg-shaped plastic piece just pop out and then you replace the bulb? I recently had some work done on the car and they replaced the bulb with a clear bulb instead of the yellow bulb as on the other side. Would like to avoid a trip back, but when I spoke with the shop they indicated it wasn't so simple (?).

Thanks!

Slide the lens toward the back of the car.

from the front of the lens, pull outward (away from the car).

Thanks

So it is that simple - anyone know of a website where I can get the bulb?

Any local automotive parts store... why pay for shipping.

Heh...I actually replaced both of my perfectly good amber bulbs with clear ones to get rid of the egg yolk look. Easy-peasy on the R56.
