| The front turn signal lamps can be accessed by first removing the flexible air inlet tubes that leads to air box. The plastic housing that holds the turn signal lamp has a vertical tab that runs along the middle of the housing for "easy" twisting and removal. You approach this by standing at the front facing the vehicle and reach to the left side (left turn signal lamp)of the vehicle with your left hand. You approach from the side instead of straight on from the rear of the housing. Use the right hand for the right turn signal lamp. The rear turn signal lamps can be approached by opening a trap door like cover in the flexible black lining that covers the rear tail light assembly. This is more straight forward. Do this ONLY when the engine is cool or near room temperature. I changed the front turn indicator lamps on a weekend before the engine has been started.
