Default Changing turn signal lights in Bumper

The turn signal light in front of my passenger tire has managed to stop working... How do you go about changing it???? I have looked at it a bit but the unit seems to be held in the bumper fairly well...

Any ideas on the procedure on changing the light???


THANX

Striker, the easiest way I have found to remove those lights is to take a flat bladed screw driver and put some tape over the end of it (masking tape is all that is needed as you are simply installing the tape to prevent scratching the car). Now, using the screw driver, place the end of the screw driver perpedicular to the body of the car and against the wide side of the light (the side opposite the pointy end). Now, push the light sideways towards the pointy end and get it to move about a 1/4". From there, you can pull out a little bit and it will release from the body of the car. To install, you simply put the side where the screw driver was in first and the pointy end will snap into place. PUtting in a new light bulb is nothing more than giving the light base a 1/4 turn and it will pop right out. The bulb is held in by friction. So, pull it straight out.
