Default How to replace front turn signal in '97 Accord DX

I need to replace the right front turn signal bulb in my '97 Accord DX.

The manual appears to show a screw on the right side of the cover that is supposed to provide access to the bulb. I see no such screw, or any other way to access this bulb.

Can anyone provide instructions on how I can get to this bulb?

Thanks.

If this is the turn signal bulb in the front bumper, then the screw is way back there, so you will need a long screwdriver.

If you go to the common diy thread on top of the gen tech help forum, there is a link to online shop manuals. You can get the 94 shop manual from the honda tech link that is pretty much identical to your 97.

You also can buy a new replacement side marker on amazon for $10 it comes with the bulbs as well in case a clip or something breaks . Its actually easier to replace the entire fixture then it is the bulb. Unfortunately I dont recall what was involved in replacing just the bulb other then it being a pain.

Turn signal is as PAhonda stated, see attached pic. from owner's manual.

Side marker and parking light has a screw up top, after you open the hood, also see attached pic.

Thanks, everyone, for your assistance. I've replaced the bulb.

For the record, the correct replacement is Sylvania 1156A.

The image redbull posted was a great help. Do you happen to have a link to the full manual?
