Default changing signal light in headlight assembly

Can anyone provdie a link or instructions on how to change the blinker light bulb only? The bulb that blinks when you signal to make a left turn.

I have found many threads on changing to HIDs and hot change the main headlight bulb but not one on changing the blinker.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

It's just twist and turn.

But where is it located? I can see the backing for the main headlight but where is the one for this little light?

It's perpendicular to the direction of the signal light.

If you can picture where the bulb is behind the orange lens, it goes in from the side of that spot. If you can find a long grey tube down there twist it out and the blinker bulb is on the end of it. My headlights are out right now so I'm not sure how hard it is to change with them on the car but there's not much room back there, hope you have small hands!

BTW, the Sylvania guide says the front turn signal is a 1156 bulb but mine at least is a 7440, might want to check before you buy the wrong bulbs.
