Turn signals

My '97 F-150 is giving me a "rapid blink" when I engae the right turn signal (happens 50% of the time). I'm guessing/hoping it's a bad bulb. Dumb as it sounds, I can't figure out how to change the bulbs. I can't even see the connector for the turn signal bulbs, and even if I could, I'm sure I couldn't get my hand in there. How do I get at them? Do I need to remove the lens? Thanks

is it the front or rear bulbs? If it is the front, just pop the hood, pull the two metal rods from the headlight assembly, and remove the whole headlight/cornerlight assembly. you can then unplug the lights from the back and put the new ones in. If it is the rear, there are two bolts that hold each taillight in. After you remove these bolts, the lights should just pop out then unplug, and replace!

I didn't check to see if it was front or rear. I was going to just do them both because I figured it would be easy. Thanks for the info, I'll try it tonight.
