front side marker

[mikey1951]

OK guys ---I consulted the TSM for instructions and I could not believe what I read. Remove the bumper fascia and wheel well trim to get to this tiny bulb. You should be able to get to it from above if you remove some engine bay/fender panels. Has anyone replaced this side maker bulb as a DIY?

Thx,
Mike

No - too ambiguous, Looks like I have to remove hood seal assembly & master cylinder cover.???

Done - not too bad: Pop the plastic rivets (carefully) on the hood seal assembly (pg DLK-219 in TSM), just the front (1 to metal frame, 1 near master cylinder cover , and 1 at top edge of fender) three. Use a small bungie cord to hold trim back (toward engine) while you grab the long bulb housing nearest the fender and twist slightly - out it comes. Easier than expected.
