All I need to do is change a front passenger turn signal bulb, how can I not feel like a complete idiot writing this to a forum of experts? There are lots of seemingly random screws and some weather strips I don't want to peel off, so here I am. What's the right procedure?!! When is Shilton going to come out with a book? Thanks for any help!!!

I've done this twice alrwady on my 2005 GX. I got on my back underneath the front bumper, reached up, grabbed and turned the small turn signal socket to the left until it came out. You then have to turn the bulb to the left to remove from socket. It's tricky and a pain in the butt but it can be done this way w/o removing any other parts in the process. The dealer sells the bulbs for about $9 each. You can buy aftermarket bulbs ( # 1156NA single contact) for around $2-$3 but make sure you match the color of the original bulb (I'd take it with you to the auto store). If not, buy 2 of the same closest in color and replace both turn signals. Hope this helps... have fun!
