Hey guys. I have an '06 M45, I have searched this site for good instructions on how to change the rear and front turn signals, but I have come up blank.
Can anyone help me out here? I have heard it's a bi$%$@, but would still like to do it.
thanks guys!

How to change rear and front turn signals
Re: How to change rear and front turn signals (SilverCi)
i know the front ones are pain in the a$$ since you have to remove both tires to do it. You can only access them thru the front fender. The back ones are not as bad, you can get to them from the trunk lid, remove the inner carpet on the lid portion and you should be able to swap them out... i did my license plates & backup light that way, it's easy.

Great, thanks.
Why are earth would you have to remove your tires to get to the front blinkers? That doesn't make much sense for Infiniti to set it up that way. Not to mention it sucks for us to change them !

WOW!!! Not sure what Egg is talking about.
the turn signals bulbs are 7004s or 7040s, i forget which.
for the front you have to remove the radiator overflow and you can acces the passager turn signal with no problem. for the driver front, you have to unbolt the intake that mounted right above the radiator. Then take off the bolt that attaches the intake filter box to the strut mount. That way you can push the filter housing aside and you can fit your hand behind the headlight. Having someone with very thin hands is going to come in handy because even after doing that it is still a tight squeeze.
For the back, you don't have to take off carpet anything, on the outer edge of the trunk there is a plastic cover covering the bolts that attach the taillights to the chassi. Pry them off and you'll expose two 10mm bolts. Undo those bolts and pull the taillight towards you. Unplug the hardness and on the top you'll see a little cap. undo that cap, that's where you rear turn signal is.
For the Side markers, you have to replace the entire side maker or be willing to hack-up the back of the stock side marker so you can access the bulb. that bulb is a 194B.
I think i'll make a tutorial about it when i'm ready to change colors again. I have clear bulbs in there right now, but really want the chrome bulbs.

Awesome, thanks Kalamidad.
I'll be doing this within the next few weeks when it warms up here in NJ.
