Front Turn Signal replacement
I recently purchased stealth bulbs to replace my front turn signals. Has anyone changes out their signals, and if so how is it done?
I thought it would be a simple reach under and remove the old bulbs but that's not the case. Before I start "experimenting" on their removal and help would be appreciated. (I searched this forum without any luck on the subject).
Thanks very much.

Good luck. I gave up after nearly cutting my arm off. I don't understand how people have done this before... maybe on a 350, 280, 200 with a smaller engine?! Anyways, if you find a way, let me know.

I will be attempting this tonight, if I figure out a trick I'll pass it along.

The good news is the bulbs can be removed with a little effort, mostly getting your hand in behind the bulb, the bad news is I bought the wrong bulb type
