i am replacing my turn signal bulbs, do they just pull out or what? they seem to be tough just to pull out. i have a 92 sedan. i'm also replacing my headlights, what the easiest way of getting to them?? do i take out the whole housing or what? thanks for your help:)

You don't need to take out the entire headlamp unit. All you need to do is go through the wheel well and pop out the turn signal bulbs. Hella lot ezier then taking out the unit. Even says so in the manual. Just turn the wheel to make it ezier.

if it's ont he headlights... the 6th gens are easy... for the right turn signal turn the wheels to the left and go to the wheel well in front of the tire. lift that and you can probably see the housing for the lights. you have to turn the light bulb a little counterclockwise in order to get it out. that's how they hold it in by a screwing mechanism. I did this a couple of months ago so i hope i got most of the details right. if not, i'm sure you can figure it out.
the trick is turning the bulb a little before actually tugging on it.

the head lights are tough to get out if u have big hands. what you do it remive the wire thinggy from the back of the headlamp and remove the rubber boot around it, then push in the wire that holds the light push in and up. then it should just fall into ur hands. reaccimble is oppiste of removel
