Fitment Check Before You Start
Confirm your model and compare the replacement assembly to the original before installation. Check connector style, lens shape, and mounting tabs. If the vehicle has been modified or has replacement bodywork, compare the existing signal to the product photos and contact the seller if anything differs.
Replacement Steps
Step 1 — Disconnect the Battery
Switch off the ignition and disconnect the negative battery terminal to avoid shorting the lighting circuit while working.
Step 2 — Access the Signal Assembly
Open the hood and locate the rear of the front turn signal assembly. Remove any trim or fasteners that restrict access, keeping clips and screws together.
Step 3 — Remove the Existing Signal
Release the retaining screw or clips for the assembly. Carefully ease the lens out from the body opening. Do not pry against painted surfaces or force aged plastic tabs.
Step 4 — Disconnect the Bulb Socket
Rotate or release the bulb socket from the housing and unplug the electrical connector as applicable. Inspect the socket and wiring for corrosion or damaged insulation before reusing them.
Step 5 — Install the Replacement
Transfer the bulb socket if required, then connect the wiring and test the signal before securing the assembly. Seat the signal evenly in the opening, align the mounting tabs, and fasten without overtightening.
Step 6 — Test Operation
Reconnect the battery and test the turn signal and hazard lights. Confirm the signal flashes at a normal rate and that the lens is secure with no gaps.
