Paul in Alaska Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I'm having some issues trying to find a way to change the front signal bulbs on my wife's 1991 Subaru Legacy wagon. There doesn't seem to be any way of doing it from the inside/under the hood. Do I really have to take off the outer light casing? Or go under the bumper? That seems a little much to change a bulb. Does anyone know how? Thanks! -Paul Palmer, Alaska Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldfusion21 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I think you undo the one screw at the top of the housing and the whole things just unclips. Change light and replace. should only take a few mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) On the sides of the turn signal lenses there should be two Philips head screws. They are accessible from the front of the car, just remover them, pull the light assembly forward, pop the socket out of it, replace bulb, reinsert the socket, and screw light assembly back down to the bumper. Twitch PS: The turn signals are the amber colored lights on the bottom of the bumper. PPS: Ignore ^^^ I have changed bumpers 3 times on my 90 lego, he's referring to the marker lights.

coldfusion21 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 totally forgot about those. Ya, if its the lowers ones, he has the right idea. If its up next to the headlight should just be one screw under the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 yes, the marker light (next to the headlight) has one phillips head screw under the hood - undo the screw and wiggle light housing slightly forward and to the side to get to the bulb socket. there are two clips on the back edge of the housing that hold it in place against the fender. twist bulb socket counterclockwise to unlock it - change the bulb - reverse the process to reinstall...
