Answer 1

NOTE: The "Related links" later below includes pictures on Picasa.

The tools you will need are:

a. 1/4" drive T30 star Socket;

b. 1/4" Drive spinner handle;

c. 12.8/14V, 27/6.7W replacement lamp (e.g., Sylvania part number "3057 LL" at your local auto parts store)

Step (assumes you are changing the left rear turn signal light bulb):

1. Open the rear door of the vehicle;

2. slightly to the right of the red cover where the turn signal bulbs reside are two star screws (in crevice-like locations);

3. take the T30 star socket (a) and attach it to the drive spinner handle (b) and unscrew both star screws.

4. carefully pull out and hold the entire red case covering.

5. carefully twist open the middle light bulb counterclockwise and carefully pull it out of its housing.

6. pull the old bulb out of the socket

7. place the new bulb into the socket.

8. before closing up, test that the replacement bulb works by engaging your left turn signal lever near your steering wheel while your Relay is either on (with foot brake on);

9. if the replacement process was successful, reverse the steps above: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. You are done.
