For instance, on some models the turn signal light assembly must be removed before the headlight can be replaced.

Your turn signal bulb is a 1157A or 1156 bulb (either will work), and usually inserts into a connector
that unscrews 1/4 turn counterclockwise, and comes out of a headlight-turn signal assembly on the
front of the vehicle.
Try: opening the hood and turning the bulb holder 1/4 turn counterclockwise, then withdraw the
bulb base and installed bulb. replace old bulb by turning it 1/4 turn counterclockwise and
pulling it out (the 1157A and 1156 bulbs are bayonet-base). Install the new bulb by inserting
into the socket (properly aligning the 2 pins on the base of the bulb with the channels for them
in the socket), and the rotating the bulb 1/4 turn once inserted.
Now - test the new turn signal bulb before putting it back together - this insures that the installation
of the bulb into the socket correctly aligned the (2) contacts in the base of the bulb socket.
Then: insert socket into headlight-turn signal assembly and rotate clockwise 1/4-turn to install.

Summary: remove socket by rotating 1/4-turn counterclockwise and pulling out.
remove 1157A or 1156 bulb from socket by rotating bulb 1/4-turn counterclockwise and
pulling it out
installation is reverse of removal.

The bulb is actually very easy and straight forward to replace.

If you are replacing one bulb, I suggest doing both at the same time and a twin pack is less than buying two packs seperately.

• Removal

1. Holding the connector on the sides squeeze and pull back away from you.
2. Once the connector is removed, gently pull the rubber boot back.
3. This will revail a snap type of clip. NOTE bottom of clip does come off. Push each top side of the clips towards you to relase them.
4. Once the tops of the clip are undone let the clip swing down.
5. slide the bulb out of the lens.

Caution DO NOT TOUCH THE NEW BULB WITH YOUR BARE HANDS. THE BODY OILS ON YOUR HANDS CAN CAUSE THE BULB TO GET HOT SPOTS AND BURN OUT QUICKLY.

2. Install buld into lens.
3. Place clip over bulb.
