  • Horror replacing front turning lamp

    I would like to shoot the Chevy designer who thought it would be a good idea NOT to have two simple screws to replace the amber lens so we could replace the bulb....I cannot reach or see with the help of a lamp the hole to put in a new bulb. HELP
    ITs driving me nuts.

    To access the bulb in the front corner lens you'll have to remove the corner splash guard underneath it and reach your arm up in there. I think I remember it being a handful of 8mm bolts holding in the splash guard and a 194 bulb. I replaced mine with LED's a few years ago.

        Are you talking about replacing the turn light bulbs?

        If it is, is very easy. Just lift up the headlights and if you have skinny arms you can get to it.

          I have a 2000 Camaro, the headlights are bolted in.

            Oh sorry. For some reason I always thought you have a firebird.

              Either way, the turn signals should be accessible through the splash guards underneath the front bumper. Just locate the wires and follow them to the bulb. Twist to remove the bulb from the housing and replace.

                    Its not that difficult,I am 6'2"250lbs and I can reach up in there easy.

                    Find the wire, follow the wire, grasp the connector, turn to the left to unlock it.

                    Put your new bulb in test it while its down,then reach in and put it in and turn to the right to lock it.

                        I found the fuse bad, replace it and it did not make a difference. Bulb works with emergency flashers. go figure

                          Got a mobile mechanic to come to the house and he fixed it all for $20.

                            Headlights are easy to remove, it's one bolt and they slide to get them off the braket. Once the headlights are out of the way it's easy to replace the bulbs. I've done it this way every time I've replaced bulbs in both my cars.
