TheLazyRocket Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 How difficult would it be to replace my blinker lens on my own, or should I seek help? I got it like it is and I would like to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich_e777 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) You do need a very special tool to change them. An 8mm socket wrench and at least one hand with a thumb and at least another finger. Its honestly very simple and easy. The actual orange translucent part doesn't come out, you need to get the entire piece or assembly. Pop your hood and remove the black plastic surround that's held down by 3 pin like things that are also plastic, no idea what these are called but you can get replacements at any autozone. 8mm the little bolt out and twist the light bulb out of its catch. Should fall right out and ready to go. My record is a minute and 12 seconds. Edited November 2, 2013 by rich_e777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 You guys make it sound too simple. You need a socket, an extension, and a ratchet. Opposable thumbs are optional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
