Default Installing Front Turn Signal Bulbs

I got my SilverVision bulbs in today, but I am trying to figure out how the hell I am going to install them... If you ask me, that is a terrible design. Anyway, I have seen the article that recommends removing the entire bumper and stuff. I don’t want to hassle with all that, just not worth it. I have small hands; you think I can access the bulbs via the wheel wells if I cram them up there? Thanks.

BTW, I will post pics of my car soon, finally got it back from the body shop... Only took 3 months.. Shaking head...

The shop did a decent job, I mean it's not the same, but what am I going to do? I got royally screwed. Just a reminder picture, and no it wasnt my fault.

boy they really didn't total it, that's amazing.....

anyway, you can try to go through wheel well, if you have very small hands it might work, but prepare to have some cuts here and there

so it might actually be easier if you just take off the bumper

wait a minute are you talking about the TURN signals or the SIDEMARKERS? If you are talking about the sidemarkers you really can get to those through the wheel well. You just have to work with the well cover thing to get your hand in there but it's not bad. Now the turn signals, I though you could get to those through the hood.


PS glad you got your car back J.

one of the turn signals yes, the upper one. but there is a lower one and that's a pain in the butt to get to
