Default driver side turn signal

As luck would have it, my left turn signal is not working just in time for my annual state inspection. I have searched unsucessfully on how to replace the turn signal bulb on a 99 ES300. Does anyone know? Do you think the dealer will fix it under warranty?

I don't know if you can replace it yourself. I tried I even bought the bulbs too. I just couldn't find a way to get in there. Anyway take it to the dealer if it's not your socket , you may just have to replace the bulb, $8.00. But if its the socket it'll be like $62.00

Default update

I took the car to the dealership for the inspection. They never checked the turn signals. I asked the service writer to look at the light after they gave me the car back. He whacked the turn signal and the light started flashing normally. He explained that sometimes the socket will have corrosion in it. Well after a week, my light started to act the same. They replaced the socket and all is well.

Default socket

on my 94, in order to get to the socket, i need to take out my headlight and turn it over. the socket is right on the bottom, you just have to take out the headlight from the car first
