changing bulbs on headlights/taillights?
 
I want to change the turn signal bulb in the front headlight... is this possible to do without removing the bumper?

I also want to change the turn signal bulb in the tail light, how can these be changed?

for front bumper you can go in through your wheel well. its a tight fit but you can do it without taking your wheels off.

Anyone know about the tail lights?

For the tail lights, you need to remove the housing assembly to access the bulbs. There are two screws and a nut (if I remember correctly) holding the tail light housing in. To get to the nut (located on the backside of the tail light assembly) you have to remove the plastic trim panels in the trunk. It is not very difficult, but is a little time consuming.

Hope this helps!

you'll have to remove quite a bit of the interior panels in the rear hatch area to get at the nuts holding the housings in. make sure your bulbs seal all the way up or you will get a little bit of moisture in them.

Once I removed the nut behind those panels, it never went back on either! Future changes will be much simpler.

taillights,you pretty much have to remove all the pannels and that rubber trim to get at the taillights...its actually pretty ridic lol as it takes quite a long time to change some damn bulbs! however if your removing the orange turn signal,and replacing it with something thats clear, then its well worth it.

also be careful removing the pannels!!! as alot of them have easily breakable plastic clips that hold them in.
