Apologies if I use the wrong term for something.

What do you call the lower light assembly on the front of a QX4? It houses the turn signal and another, clear, bulb (sorry, don't know the proper term for it). And are there instructions available on how to replace the bulbs? The clear one is out in mine.

I was able to access the back of the assembly, but not with a clear view. There is a protective cover that appears to be attached with screws (which I removed) and a couple of plastic rivets. I see there are twist-off covers for the bulbs, but when I remove the one for the clear bulb, I can't see well enough to see the proper way to remove the actual bulb.

Any help appreciated!

Welcome to Nico!

Those are the fog light/turn signal housings. Take a look at that black plastic grille-like piece on the side of the housing (on the left in your picture). There should be one or two screws you remove from that and it'll come off. Once that grille is out, there should be a pair of obvious screws/bolts to take out, and then the whole housing comes out. Once it does, it's super easy to get at the wiring and bulbs.

Post back if you have any problems!
