I blew a bulb - 3157nak
and followed the recommendation below -
cool, no jacking up the car, but...

I am not familiar with a 3157nak bulb.  I am able to reach it, even with
both hands, but it won't come out easily.  I figured I'd write you good
people so I don't end up with a bunch of stitches in my fingers.

Do these bulbs:
1- Unscrew
2-just pull out
3- push and twist
4-???

Thank you AGAIN for your kind assistance.  AL

1) Mark and remove the hood stop next to the headlight/signal that needs
to be replaced (The long screw with a rubber top Very Happy ). Manually
raise the headlight (this way you don't have to deal with hot bulbs)
2) Remove the black bezel around the head light (3 screws). This will
allow you more room to reach the turn signal bulb.
3) Twist the turn signal (I replaced the right, and you twist towards
the middle of the car).
4) With the bezel removed, you can now hold the both the bulb and
assembly with two hands (at least one full hand and the fingers of
another), making removing the bulb much easier. (There are two bulbs at
the parts store, white and amber, you need amber)
5) Reverse and re-install

2-just pull out

Good procedure but be carful the new lamp is seated before you try to
re-install the lamp assembly.  The lamp fell out on me and is still
riding around in the assembly.  No way to get that sucker out. I have
tried double-back tape and nothing seems to work.
