97 Jeep Grand Chero...turn signal ??

How in the heck do you change a front turn signal bulb on this thing ? Can't get at it from behind..no screws/bolts showing from the front !! Do I start by removing the grill? What kind of leaping, screaming nit-wit designed THIS ?

    first open the hood. Then look at the light housing to the right or left of the actual headlight depending on whether you are replacing the driver or passenger side. there is a small screw on top of this fixture. unscrew it. the next screw is between this light fixture and the light fixture below it. you have to push a small philips head screwdriver between these two light housings to get to it. it is hard to see so I would recomend a flashlight. once this is unscrewed, you can remove this light fixture and get to the turn signal fixture below. There are only two screws that you will be able to see very easily. after these are removed, you will be able to to sort of slide this fixture out and get to the bulbs. It sounds complicated but it is pretty easy to remove. I have replaced bulbs within ten minutes. you just need to find the four screws. Good Luck!

    Many vehicles today have a way of removing these entire light housings. Open the hood and see if there is a plastic radiator top cover that can be removed. My truck has a way to remove the whole headlight / parking light assembly under this cover. All the wires to these lights are long enough so that you can pull the light assembly housing out and get to each light. It's probably not as difficult as all appearances would seem. I think you can do it. Go slow and look it all over carefully or you may break a vital plastic part. Good Luck.

    If it's a turn signal in the front tip of a fender I'd guess you have to get at it from inside a fender well after taking the liner out.
