Re: Changing turn signal lamps for dummies

Hi Geoffrey,

There are 4 allen screws...two up along the top, one at the bottom and 
one in the middle where the left panel meets the right. I have a page 
about changing the headlight bulb. It contains pictures of my '94...one 
of them shows the locations of the allen screws for the panel:

Once those are out, it does take a little twisting of the panel to get 
it to pop out.
