Default Changing turn signals...what's the step by step process??

I recently purchased a set of the black turn signals from stangmods.com and I'll be putting them in this weekend. I took a look at the front left turn signal and now I'm clueless on how to get it out. What's the process to change it out??

ok i actually just did this like an our ago, i bought new headlights and turn signals and changed them both out...


first off jack one side up to give yourself more room (dont forget to put stands under it just in case), then look up under there and unplug the turn signal and side marker, then you'll see two white pins, squeeze them and pull on the assembly to get it past the white pins, then just pull straight out once you get both pins out...if you want it to be a lot easier to put them back on then take out the front portion of the wheel well, its really easy and worth it

I did this last month and you don't need to jack the front of the car up. When working on the left side,turn the wheels towards the right (opposite side) of the car. Remove the three fasteners (closest to the turn signal lens) which hold the fenderwell trim in place. Forcefully, but carefully pull the trim towards the center of the car which should open enough room to get you arm to the back side of the turnsignal. The two white pins that tn spoke to will be right there within just a few inches. You can use a small set of pliers to close the pins if you can get your fingers to work. Once the pins have been pinched, the lens will come out pin side first. To install the new lens just revers the order of the above instructions. I did both sides in under 25 minutes.

good luck!

I put the black turnsignals in also, but i did it as i was installing the cervinis front bumper, which made things a lot easier. Basically the turn signals were rivoted on my bumper....so we drilled them out, then re-rivoted the black ones in.
