Can I replace this myself?

[TheLazyRocket]

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.

Its one screw accessible from the top when the hood is open

Do you need a replacement lense?

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.

You guys make it sound too simple. You need a socket, an extension, and a ratchet. Opposable thumbs are optional.

Should take 1 minute tops to swap in a new one.

It'll take longer to clean that adhesive from the tape off the body.
