For the Cornering Lamp (integrated into the headlight assembly):
1. Disconnect the battery: This is crucial for safety. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal first.
2. Access the headlight assembly: You'll likely need to remove the front grill or part of it. Consult your owner's manual for specifics on this – the procedure varies depending on the trim level. This might involve removing screws, clips, or fasteners.
3. Remove the headlight assembly: Once you have access, you may need to disconnect the headlight's wiring harness and possibly some other connectors. Again, your owner's manual is your best resource here. The headlight assembly might be held in place by screws or clips.
4. Access the bulb: Once the headlight is out, you should be able to see the turn signal bulb socket. It's usually a standard wedge-style bulb (often a 3157 or similar).
5. Remove the old bulb: Gently twist the bulb counterclockwise to remove it from the socket.
6. Install the new bulb: Insert the new bulb, twisting it clockwise until it's secure. Make sure the new bulb is the correct type.
7. Reassemble everything: Carefully put the headlight assembly back in place, reconnect the wiring harness, and reattach the grill.
8. Reconnect the battery: Reconnect the positive (+) terminal.
9. Test the turn signal: Turn on your hazard lights or turn signals to ensure the new bulb is working correctly.
For the Separate Side Marker Light (on the fender):
1. Disconnect the battery: As before, safety first!
2. Access the bulb: This is usually easier. You'll likely find a small access panel or need to remove a few screws or clips to access the bulb housing.
3. Remove the old bulb: Similar to the headlight, it's usually a twist-and-pull action.
4. Install the new bulb: Insert the new bulb and secure it.
5. Reassemble everything: Put the access panel back in place or replace the screws/clips.
6. Reconnect the battery.
7. Test the turn signal.
Important Considerations:
* Bulb Type: Make sure you buy the correct replacement bulb. Check your owner's manual or the old bulb for the correct part number. Auto parts stores can help you find the right one.
* Owner's Manual: Your owner's manual is the definitive guide. Refer to it for detailed instructions and diagrams.
* Safety: Always disconnect the battery before working on any electrical components in your vehicle.
If you are not comfortable working on your vehicle yourself, it's best to take it to a qualified mechanic. Attempting repairs without proper knowledge can lead to damage or injury.
