To easily replace the front turn signal bulb located near the headlight, it is recommended to remove the turn signal itself, as this is a very simple operation. Just above the turn signal housing, there is a hole along the edge of the fender, through which you can insert a screwdriver and unscrew the fastening screw of the light assembly, allowing you to remove it from its housing.

Once the turn signal is removed, you can detach the bulb holder and proceed with replacing the bulb (bayonet type), then reassemble everything in reverse order.
