Some people said to use soldering iron, draw some line on it, and break it with screw driver my tapping the orange piece. I just painted with red bulb color spray paint....pick your option....

well what i did was i used a pair of needle nose pliars and other pliars with screw drivers and what not and broke the orange peice in side the lamp assy and took it out peice my peice we used a hammer and chisel i did my front and back and i must say looks hella good for just a lil bit of work and no money u might think this will ruin the light assy well it did scratch it up a bit inside but its not noticible .... hey u get what u pay for

i could have sworn it was in the FAQ, but here is a link on how to do it:

be sure to just take your time with it and try not to melt the plastic (housing for the light bulb) with the soldering iron. Its hard not melt it a little bit, so just take your time... the other ones go alot faster after you do the first one.

yeah but my question is how do i get the turn signals out of the front bumper???

check the manual, it says in there for sure.

I would try and explain where it is but its kinda hard to describe, but theres only 1 screw (cross-head) that you loosen for each light

all you need is a philips head screw driver. For the passenger side turn signal, the screw is located on the right side of the lense (you have to kinda stick your hand inbetween the grill at the bottom and put the screwdriver into a little cutout in the plastic). After you find that little cutout, the screw is directly behind it.
