DIY request: Side turn signals

Papa13 · 05-18-2009, 05:15 PM

Need to replace my side turn signals (ones on fender). Can't figure out how to remove them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The covers just pop off. Someone on this forum did this a while ago. Just pry gently on one end.

Word. I'll try it. I tried searching but nothing popped up. Also, nothing in the owners manual. If anyone knows the thread post it please

How to take out side marker lights?

Anyone know how to do this???:iono:

yeah its pretty easy once u know how to, i remember doing mine as getting a credit card, sliding it under the metal layer beneath the light, and pry it off, then u rotate it to get the housing out, and u switch out the lights or the whole sidemarkers with ease...U wont break anything prying em off against ur car wit a credit car, so dont worry

I'm still wondering how to do this... when you say pry it out, im assuming pull it until it gets dis-lodged?

do not use a screw driver or anything to pry it.... It slides forward a little and then you push/pull it up
