Sounds stupid here, but anyone have any idea how to get the front plastic lens off the turn signal area, or get to that area to replace the right turn signal bulb. Bergys couldn't figure it out - Go figure. Tks

If I remember correctly you change them from below through an access panel.

Carl's right. When Burrell did my fog lights (PIAA's) he showed my where the bulbe for the turn signals were.

You can access it from the top or from the bottom:

From the Top:
Turn on the headlights and back off one position to kill the lights.
Unscrew the 3 small screws on the black plastic housing around the headlight. Gently pull the housing clear. Reach down around the headlight unit and release the bulb holder. It unscrews counter clockwise but it has a plastic clip which you need to squeeze to release it. Change the bulb. Reseat the bulb holder and turn until it clicks back in place. Put the plastic housing back in place making sure to locate the small plastic tab in the bracket on the headlamp cover. Replace the 3 screws and close the lights.
10 minute job.

You need skinny arms to get it from up top, so if you do NOT, then try this

From the Bottom:
The best way is to go through the panel directly below the light. You do have to drive it up on blocks or ramps, or park on the crest of a small hill so that the frontend overhangs.
Six or so screws need to be removed and the panel comes off. Move the brake duct moved aside. Then, just turn the socket a half turn and remove, The bulb just plugs in.
It sounds more complicated than it is!!!
And...no scratched up arms and hands!!
