I tried replacing the rear signal lights and it involves removing the entire lighting assembly. It also seems that you need special tools. I even printed the FSM and it was of no help.

If anyone has replaced their rear turn signal bulbs, please do share your experience.

The front turn signal bulls are easy to get to once you remove the front wheels and the plastic shields inside the front fenders.

Can you also reach the HID and hi beam bulbs from behind the wheel wells?

Ya you can access it from the wheel wells turning the well inward depending on what side your working on. I have asked other people that have changed their headlight bulbs and this is the method that they used. FYI you are going to have a cover that I believe that you are going to have to twist off then you have to pull this wire like spring thing out I believe in order to take the bulb out.

Np and actually you don't have to worry about the cover thats for the headlight bulbs. Sorry I didn't really read what the thread was about just your post. It is even easier to signal bulb so you shouldn't have to worry about anything. You can go in the same way that I explained above though.
