I am embarrassed, but can't figure this out...

How do you replace the front turn signal bulb...?

There is a screw on top for the enclosure...but it is still hanging up..

I can't find it in the FSM...only tells you how to do a headlamp bulb..

Sorry for the apparent ignorance. For the 90Q

No problem, I had to do this when I had to fix one of my fenders.....

There is a little ball in socket thing at the bottom of the fixture, closest to the flat side of the enclosure (or closest to the headlight)...

When I did it, I think I managed to pull on the flat side gently but firmly until it popped out.....

Undo the screw, and gently pull or pry until it comes out..... :-)

Then just twist and pull the bulb out, and pop it back in... 10 mins tops!!!

(I assume its the same for the 94 and 90)

Wes....you are the man!...

I just didn't want to force anything....for the life of me, I could not ever remember changing the turn signal bulb in the front on the 90...I could be mistaken...I distincly remember changing at least one low beam and probably both..... back lights have all been changed out...sidemarkers , too..

My son got his license today....so the 90 is his...he'll be driving to school tomorrow...and I didn't want him to get a ticket his first day.

Actually the bulb was ok....the contacts were just a bit worn or melted....it apparently caused the signal to blink quickly as if the bulb was burned out.... I replaced the rear while I was at it...
