Question Replacing front turn signal

Can I replace the front turn signal bulbs without having to remove the front bumper?

In short, front bumper removal is not required. If you're having any difficulty finding wiggle room you may want to remove the stock air box temporarily for easier access to the passenger side housing.

Hi guys, now I've managed to get my hand to reach the front indicator lights but does anyone know do I simply just pull them out from the wires? or does it need to be twisted to unlock them from the housing?

I don't want to pull too strongly on the wires unless the only way it comes out is by yanking it out (instead of twisting it to unlock it)

would appreciate any help given.

You have to twist and a little pull at the same time and it will pop out. Fun part is finding its housing again when you go to put the bulb back in. good luck
