Default Left Side Yellow Light OUT!!! 98 Xk8

Just realized my driver side yellow light that I believe turns into a side blinker is out. All the rest light up however. Is there a thread I can be linked to or somebody that can provide a brief walk through. Thanks in advance guys.

Access to the Front Direction Indicator Bulb in the headlamp unit is through the plastic cap as follows:

The Side Marker Bulb is accessed through the Wheelarch access panel:

The above diagrams are from the US Vehicle Care Handbook for 1998MY. If you don't have this, you can download it (and the rest of the Vehicle Literature Pack for your model) in PDF from:

The full sets of Handbooks (Manuals) for all US and UK XK8/XKR from 1997 to 2006 are available from this same link in the FAQ's.

Very useful information for I still have to change some bulbs in my headlight. But I was actually referring to the all yellow oval shaped light that's on the side of the car. It's out and I don't have a clue of how to reach it.

Copied from my manual.

Removal
1. Remove the repeater lamp.
1. Carefully slide the lamp forward or rearward to compress one
of the retaining spring clips and remove the lamp from the
panel.
2. Disconnect the connector from the rear of the lamp.

Hope this helps,

Do you have different yellow oval lights in California from the second diagram in my post #3 above - Side Marker Light?

I've posted the full bulb chart here because you mentioned you had others to replace. There's nothing special about the Side Marker bulbs:
