Tools you'll likely need:
* New turn signal bulb: Make sure you get the correct bulb type. Check your owner's manual or the bulb itself (it should have a code printed on it). Auto parts stores can help you find the right one.
* Phillips head screwdriver (possibly): Some models might require removing a screw to access the bulb.
* Gloves (optional): To protect your hands from getting greasy.
Steps:
1. Locate the bulb: Open the hood of your Concorde. The turn signal bulb is located behind the front headlight assembly on the right side. The exact location might vary slightly depending on the trim level.
2. Access the bulb: This is the most variable step. There are a few possibilities:
* Direct access: In some cases, you might be able to access the bulb by simply reaching behind the headlight housing. Feel around for the bulb socket.
* Remove a cover: There might be a small access cover or panel held on by a single screw (or sometimes clips). If so, carefully remove the cover using your screwdriver.
* Remove the headlight assembly (least likely, but possible): In some rare instances, you may need to remove the entire headlight assembly to reach the bulb. This is more involved and usually isn't necessary for just a bulb replacement. If this seems necessary, consult a repair manual specific to your 1999 Concorde.
3. Remove the old bulb: Once you have access to the bulb socket, carefully twist the bulb counter-clockwise to remove it. It should come out relatively easily.
4. Install the new bulb: Insert the new bulb into the socket, making sure it's properly seated. Then, twist the bulb clockwise to secure it.
5. Reassemble: If you removed any covers or panels, put them back in place and secure them.
6. Test the new bulb: Close the hood and turn on your right turn signal to ensure the new bulb is working correctly.
Important Considerations:
* Hot bulbs: Allow the bulb to cool down completely before handling to avoid burns.
* Bulb fragility: Turn signal bulbs are fragile. Handle them carefully to avoid breaking them.
* If unsure, seek help: If you're uncomfortable performing this repair yourself, take your car to a qualified mechanic or auto repair shop.
Remember, this is a general guide. The specific steps might be slightly different for your Concorde. Referencing a repair manual specific to your 1999 Chrysler Concorde model is strongly recommended for precise instructions. You can often find these manuals online or at auto parts stores.
