Tricks to removing front turn signal assemblies

[pampadori]

I am in the process of replacing the front turn signal assemblies. I've managed to reach in behind the right side in front of the horns and removed the 8 mm nuts securing that side. I then found the wiring connections behind the headlight. Not exactly what I would call "well thought out" or "easily serviceable". But whatever, i got it replaced and the wiring connected correctly and the light works.

Moving on to the left side. No room to do the same thing on this side. The washer tank is in the way and there is no room to access the 8mm nuts.

Do i actually have to remove the bumper to replace the left turn signal assembly or is there a trick that someone can share? My bumper isn't factory and it looks like it might be a bit of a headache to remove and reinstall so i've got my fingers crossed.

I have an aftermarket bumper and I had the same problem. I had to remove the bumper to get to them,

I couldn't get my front bumper off in the time it took for me to get frustrated so i decided to remove the washer tank and fuel tank thingy behind it. I was then able to access the turn signal nuts and swap out the lights. Much easier than removing the bumper, at least on my car.

Maybe this will be helpful to someone else in the future!
