Replacing front turn signal bulbs

Guys, I need to obviously replace a front turn signal bulb as it is on it's way out, working sporadically but mostly not now. My question since it is dark and I haven't had a chance to get a good look at it is...will this be a royal ***** given the front light housing or a quick and simple fix? On all of my other cars it was never an issue, but I fear the headlight assembly on my '04 could cause me headaches. What experience have you had with this if any? All help is most welcome. The owners manual is worthless and of no help.

remove covers, remove air intake + box, move coolant reservoir (1 screw), and remove windshield washer tube (quarter turn, pull....)

Tight fit but it's easy if you can get your hand in there, if not, ask your wife or kid.

From: inside my own mind
The easiest possible way to change any bulb in the headlight assembly is to remove the whole front bumper. That way, you won't have to work in an overly tight space and scrape off pieces of your skin.

Since it's your first time then it should take anywhere from 20-30 minutes tops. Once you get used to it then it should take no longer then 10 minutes. If you want a video on a step by step process on removing the bumper then send me a pm.
