On the sedan, you'll need to pop that headlight assembly off the car to get to the turn signal bulbs. Pull up on the two retaining pins on top of the headlight assembly and remove the assembly from the car. On the back, rotate the outer dust cover counterclockwise to remove it. Then rotate the turn signal bulb socket counterclockwise and remove it. Pull the old bulb out of the socket and push the new bulb in. Insert the socket into the headlight assembly and rotate it clockwise to lock it. Put the dust cover on and rotate it clockwise to secure it to the back of the headlight assembly and set the assembly in place. Insert the retaining pins and you're all set.
