Trying to replace front driver side turn signal bulb. Trying to get at it, best way seems to be by taking the lens cover off. How to pop it off without damaging it?

Hello,

The best way to access the turn signal bulb on the front is to remove the wheel well fender liner. Undo those clips and screws to pull back the liner, this will give you access to the back of the light. You will be able to twist off the light socket and replace the bulb.
You do not have to completely remove the liner, just enough to be able to access the light.

You do not want to remove the lens, as it is a sealed unit and will damage it.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
