 Round Plastic Cover |
 Rotate Counterclockwise |
 Access Cover Removed |
| The front turn
signal light bulbs can be accessed through the wheel well liner in front of
the tires.
To create more working room in the wheel well, turn the front wheels all the way in the opposite direction of the burnt out light bulb. Once the front tire is out of the way, you'll be able to see the two round black plastic access covers. The lower cover is for the front side marker light bulb. The upper cover is for the front turn signal light bulb. Rotate the top cover 1/4 turn in the counterclockwise direction before pulling it straight out of the wheel well liner. Set the cover aside in a safe place. |
