take out the foglight covers.there is one screw on each light.you get to it from under the light. the screww will not fall completly out. when it is out you can pull the light out of the bumper and change the bulb.if you need clarification pm me

thankee... and these bulbs are used widely in the auto industry? Or are they our-car-specific?

which ones? on my 86 the blinkers in the front bumper come out by taking the plastic off with 2 screws right on the front of the lense. for the side ones you put up the headlights and take the bliker out with 2 screws on the inside side of the housing.

Also, are the bolts the ones that are on the same plane as the lens cover? Facing you?

I only have one bulb on each side that blinks... the second one you described sounded like running lights to me.

It's like flamed89 said, one screw on the out side of each front blinker acessed from the underside. You just unscrew them with a phillips head until they feel really loose, then carefully pop the lens cover out from that side first. The bulbs are common and easily found at any auto or even like ACE hardware type stores. I just replaced one that was almost black but still working.

I just did it... and it was quite easy.

That screw is kinda easy to miss if you don't know where you are looking, I looked under there and was like "Uh-oh, someone covered up the screw with styrofoam.!"

I think if someone would have told me it's in the CORNERS underneath, I could have gotten it more quickly. :p I thought it was directly under-neath.
