Front turn signal replacement
I went to replace my front left turn signal assembly tonight. I can't see where to get to the mounting screws. Is it necessary to remove the bumper to get to these?
Thanks

I am not real sure yet, but I believe it's just two screws down low. It's a tight section, but I remember being able to unscrew it without removing the bumper. Then the upper was clipped in.

From the 2003 owner's manual:
Replacing front parking/turn signal bulbs
1. Make sure headlamp switch is in OFF position and open the hood.
2. Remove the two screws and carefully disengage parking lamp/turn signal assembly from the vehicle.
3. Rotate bulb socket counterclockwise and remove from lamp assembly.
4. Carefully pull bulb straight out of the socket and push in the new bulb.
Install the new bulb(s) in reverse order.

If you have enough room to access the screws between the turn signal lens and the bumper you don't have to touch the bumper.
Otherwise, just loosen the bumper to lower it down (no need to remove it) and give yourself more room.
Remove the two screws, grab the edge by the fender and pull it out (two metal pins hold it once you remove the screws so you need to give it a good tug).
