Let me start by saying I first did a search on this topic and could not find anything listed, so now I need to ask...

How do you get to the front turn signal bulb/park light bulbs so you can replace them when they go out? Do you have to remove the housing and if so, how do you go about doing it?

Any ideas?

Is replacing the front turn signal/park light bulbs in a Contour the same as in the Mystique?

I'm needing some help here...

How do you get to the bulbs?

This is real easy. Actually if you look at your car long enuff you could figure it out. I don't remember if you HAVE to remove the housing to change the bulb, but I removed it when I changed my bulb. It is attached by two or three torx screws right on top of it. You can pull it out a little and then turn the bulb holder and pull it out. The rest is self-explanatory.

There is only one Torx bolt holding in the turn signal assembly. I just had mine off today. It is obviously under the hood, on top of the headlight and closer to the side of the car. Remove that bolt and the reflector comes right out.
