Default how do i remove the turn signal lights ?

So i looked under the hood but I never messed around with the lights and Im wondering how do I take out my turn signal lights ? As well as the main headlights as Im thinking about switching them sometime in the near future so I might as well learn how to do it.

You take them straight out of the grill. There are two screws holding on the molding as well as the two holding on to the side markers. After that is off its two more screws on the turn signal housing and it will pop off, and for the headlight there are four screws that hold it in place.

Early models are slightly different than late models. But yeah. A phillips head screw driver and 5 minutes.

Ok. Step one look at headlight. See 2 screws above it in the surround? Sweet take em out.
Pull lightly on the headlight surround from the top tilt till about a45 degree angle then lift up.
Notice 2 screws on opposite corners of the blinker housing? Take em out.
Pull blinker housing towards you and you will see the sockets on the back. Twist and pull. There is your bulbs.

Headlight.
With surround off you will notice 2 screws on top and 2 on the bottom holding the silver ring on the headlight. Remove them pull headlight and unplug.

Bam! Explained!
