I searched for this but just ran out of time. I want to know how to replace the inner turn signals of the headlights for the MPX light bulb #3157.

you know, the amber ones that make the car look like a cross-eyed mule.... a really fast cross-eyed mule...

thanks

the easiest way is to just take the headlights out 2 10mm bolt for each headlights and 3 10 mm bolts on the bumper in between the headlights

which bolts are on the bracket when I look on the top of the headlight housing? Are there any bolts under the headlight housing?

They're all on top and they're actually 8mm.

2 on each lamp, 3 on the bumper cover.

sorry but I only see two bolts that are the top brackets. I can't find the 3 on the bumper cover. Do you happen to have any pics?

or you can reach under the bumper and access it that way

They are right by the radiator. They help hold the front bumper cover onto the car.

And I need to remove those bolts to remove the whole headlight?

Yup, cause you'll need to bend the bumper cover a bit to get the headlights out.

ok. Is this an easy replacement because that would really suck for $9 bulbs to require an extremely difficult installation.

I got another question: Are the clear side markers for turboneonstore, and the clear third rear light DOT rated?

Yes...They are approved.

The install really is easy man...Just two bolts for each headlight...Then try to pull the thing out...You will see where it's getting stuck. The bumper overlaps onto the radiator support...So you disconnect the (3) 8mm bolts on the bumper cover and it will be allowed to flex. This will allow you to pull the headlight through.

Sometimes just grabbing a set of sockets and start pulling bolts out helps the learning process

Um, no they're not. DOT requires the front of the vehicle to have amber reflectors, not white/clear. The third brake light only has to emit red light, so it's fine.

Well, I was thinking of getting the clear corner signals with a silver bulb that brights up in amber. is that ok?
