I have a 2004 Cadillac SRX and I need to change the both of the bulbs in the front turn signals. I am having a hard time getting the cover of the front lights' out and cann't reach behind to pull the back of the conections to the lights. What do I do?

Hi,

Here are the directions for replacing the front turn signal bulbs:

PROCEDURES
Front Turn Signal Bulb Replacement

To replace the front turn signal and/or fog lamp bulb(s), do the following:

See pic 1

1. Remove the protection shield located on the underside of the front of the vehicle by pulling out the push-pins located on the underside of the shield.

If you are replacing a bulb on the passenger's side, also use a tool to remove the fasteners that attach the front fascia extension panel in the wheelhouse.

2. Remove the two screws located on the inboard side and bottom of the lamp assembly that attach the lamp assembly to the front fascia.
3. Remove the lamp assembly from the front fascia by rotating the lamp assembly rearward to disengage the outboard hooks of the lamp from the slots in the front fascia.
4. Disconnect the electrical harness connector from the back side of the lamp assembly.
5. Remove the six Torx screws located on the access cap.
6. If you are replacing the fog lamp bulb, disconnect the electrical connector from the back of the bulb socket.
7. Turn the bulb socket one-quarter turn counterclockwise to remove it from the assembly.
8. Replace the bulb. See Replacement Bulbs for the proper bulb number.
9. Reverse Steps 1 through 7 to reinstall the bulb socket and access cap.
