Reading on how to replace the turn signal in the owner manual, the instruction shows replacing the bulb with the whole head unit sitting alone on a table in your garage or living room.
Wow, the unit in the car is just hidden inside. The instruction read so simply.
How on earth is the trick in replacing the right turn signal bulb. My fat hand would not snake through all the tight wiring and in front of the windshield washer tank. What's the trick?

How important is bulb grease on bulbs. Don't think it is a big deal. Never used it until now the parts store convinced me to buy a sachet.

Thanks.

Dielectric grease can prevent corrosion. But it's normally not needed unless the contacts are subjected to moisture.

Thanks a great deal. It should be simple to do with the Windshield Washer Tank removed.
