Default Front Turning Signal Bulbs

Hi folks

Any step by step instructions (pictures would be nice) that you can offer on how to replace the front turning signal light bulb on my 98 GS300 would be much appreciated. i see some great instructions on how to remove the entire head light assembly, but i'm hoping just the light bulb shouldn't require such a drastic thing.

i have replaced my HID bulbs in the past.

The turn signal light bulb is mounted horizontal (inside direction) to the headlight. Simple twist and turn.

you might want to invest in women hands too =P

you have to admit, its a pretty tight fit to get ur hands in there to turn and twist.

easiest way i found, if ur finding it hard to locate the plug for the bulb is to follow the wrapped wire that follows the circumference of the back of the housing. you cant really miss it, it just follows the edge of it with a clip holding the wire in place. follow it to 1 end and u will see, or at least feel the plug, give it a twist, and the plug w/ bulb comes free.

the bulb is wedged in place, so just give it a pull to free it and replace it.

Thanks folks.....wouldn't have thought that the bulbs would be mounted horizontally. And you ain't kidding about tight fit. i pulled a plastic man and squeeze the flesh out of my hands to get in there. :-)

Thanks again....appreciate it.
