replacing front turn signal bulbs - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

yes, I have watched videos and read about the procedure, but...

my turn signal bulb sockets do not want to twist to remove them and change the bulbs. Am I just being too gentle or is there a locking mechanism I am missing?

thanks!

This is found in your manual starting on page 10-45

The uplevel model vehicle has an
HID headlamp and a turn signal
lamp on the headlamp assembly.

To replace the turn signal bulb:

1. Open the hood. See Hood on page 10-5.
2. Press in on the tabs on the sides of the duct, and then push the duct rearward into the air cleaner/filter housing.
3. Disconnect the wiring harness and turn the bulb socket counterclockwise to remove it from the headlamp assembly.
4. Pull the bulb straight out from the socket.
5. Push the new bulb into the socket and reinstall the socket into the headlamp assembly by turning it clockwise.
6. Reconnect the electrical connector.

7. Pull the duct back out of the air cleaner/filter housing until the tabs snap the duct back into position.

The base model vehicle has a
halogen headlamp and a turn
signal/parking lamp on the

headlamp assembly.

To replace one of these bulbs:

1. Open the hood. See Hood on page 10-5.

2. Press in on the tabs on the sides of the duct, and then push the duct rearward into the air cleaner/filter housing.
3. Disconnect the wiring harness and turn the bulb socket counterclockwise to remove it from the headlamp assembly.

More muscle and turning in the right direction could be the fix, as well
