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.

 

*Brief walk through in changing it.

 

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:

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?

No GGG my phone didnt load your whole message. You were correct. Now I got to find out who sells them cause I'm sure the dealership gone rip my pockets for such a small item.

 

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:
