Removing and installing turn signal light
The turn signal lights are built into the front wings on the left and right.
  Note
The illustrations show removal and installation of the left turn signal light Removal and installation of the right turn signal light are analogous.
Removing:
   
–  Switch off ignition and all electrical loads, and pull out ignition key.
  Caution
Release of side turn signals is only possible in one direction. Great care must be taken when signal lights are being removed as there is no way of determining which side of the turn signal light the fixed anchor point -1- and the spring clip -2- are on before the signal light is removed. If an attempt is made to lever the spring clip side out with force, there is a risk of damaging the turn signal and the paintwork of the body.
–  Mask off the painted area on both sides of the turn signal.
–  Carefully press the turn signal light in the direction of the spring clip -arrow- and, starting with the fixed anchor point, pull it out of the body.
