Help installing turn signal light/housing

My left side turn signal housing broke recently in a fender bender. I have purchased a replacement turn signal light/housing and now would like some tips on how to install it myself. It seems like there are no screws to install but rather just snap it in place. Has anyone done this before? If so, I would be very grateful if you would share some of your installation tips with me. I assume I have to install the bulb first and then install the light housing itself.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

First I'd like to say whoopy for the forum working again. Your almost there. There are no screws. Just squeeze that plastic tab while pushing out toward the front. The new one just snaps right in place. If you're still confused, look in the owners manual. It give detailed instructions.

Thanks for your help. Now I just have to remove the broken light bulb and replace it.

BTW, I noticed you had replied to my post on the windshield wiper relay but I think with the forum database problems, the post didn't upload to the forum. Would you mind resending your post? Thanks so much.
