How do you replace the right front turn signal bulb on a 2002 Isuzu trooper?

Remove the lens backet set screw located at the top of the lens - this is done with the hood up. The backet connects the lens to the frame body. G-E-N-T-L-E-Y place a large screw driver between the headlight lens and the trun singal lens and slowly pry the signal lens forward. The lens is held in place by a 3 - 4 inch tube that connects by presure into the frame. You'll need to apply enough presure to dis-engage the tube. It will pop out giving you access to all the lights contained in the lens. It's easy to pop it back in - remember to replace the set screw under the hood.
