How do I replace the front turn signal lamp?

History

The left turn signal flashes rapidly. I replace the fuse, then the rear turn signal lamp. I was going to replace the front turn signal lamp but there appears to be a lot of things in the way. Is there an easy way to replace the drivers-side turn signal lamp?

Unless things have changed a lot, a rapid flashing usually indicates the flasher circuit has an issue, like a bad cap...

You have to get up under the fender splash guard. Turn your wheel out of the way to the right. Pry off the black splash guard under the fender. Use care not to bust any plastic snaps, but if you do you can get new ones at the dealership or even a parts store.

Reach up under the splash guard and follow the wires to the turn signal lamp, twist to remove, pull the bulb out and replace with your new bulb.

Careful not to touch the bulb directly with your fingers or it may blow soon.

Reverse everything to put it back in.

Good luck,

The front turn signals are indeed hidden beneath the front fender liners. I'll have a guide for this procedure on iFixit sometime in the future...
