2005 E55 front left turn signal bulb replacement

Hey folks,

My front left turn signal bulb just went ***** up. I had a look under the hood and it looks like it's extremely difficult to get at the back of the light housing. Has anyone changed a front turn signal bulb? How do I get to the back of the light housing? Do I have to remove the entire headlight assembly?

Tx in advance.

It is very easy to do, but I cannot explain it since I have not done in a long time. Less than 5 minutes total.

nah, u just open the hood and you should be able to do it from there no problems with one hand. I believe there is a cap that u unscrew, but if not it just pops out by twisting it.

His wife crazy
Very easy, and I have giant hands. You don't have to remove the coolant reservoir, just reach in and turn it counter clockwise about 45 degrees.
