How to change front turn signal bulb?

OK I know I am missing something here. Need to replace left front turn signal bulb. I see no way at all to get to it from under the hood and I don't see any screws to take off the lens to get to the bulb. So what am I missing? How do I change it?

Flat head screw driver, pop the physical turn signal out of place. One of them will pop out, then you unscrew the other. Then change the bulb.

Agree..sort of...No search necessary, just look at the damn thing and with even a little bit of car knowledge, you should be able to figure it out. Ah well, I'm bored so i'll help the guy out.

Darn thought this was a forum to help people not put them down. Guess some people are just so damn smart they think everyone should know the answer.

I fail to see where no one helped you. IIR the first 3 or 4 posts gave you the answer, including a pic. So why not try thanking us for helping?

Here's how I do it to avoid the risk of chipping/damaging the plastic housing. Lay on your back, undo 3 screws holding the underliner tray, reach up and get access to the bulb.
