Looking for help to replace signal bulbs in the headlight. Can someone offer assistance? Thanks. Also, fog light replacement would be nice as well.

Here's the procedure as listed in my service manual:
1. open the hood
2. remove the connector position assurance from the electrical connector to the headlamp wiring harness.
3. disconnect the electrical connector from the headlamp wiring harness
4. remove the front fascia close-out panel
(a) raise and support the vehicle
(b) remove the screws attaching the close-out panel to the front bumper cover
(c) remove the push-in fasteners attaching the close-out panel to the bumper cover
(d) remove the close-out panel
5. remove the nuts attaching the headlamp assembly to the front wheelhouse
6. remove the headlamp from the wheelhouse.

Disengage the bulb socket from the headlamp and remove the side marker lamp bulb... replace with the same type bulb.

To install, reverse the above

Not a difficult job, just a little time consuming if you've never done it before. Should take an hour or less per side.
