How to replace turn signal bulb in a 2003 Dodge Ram?

Question

How do you get to it?

Answer 1

Tools needed: 10mm socket wrench with extension
Total number of bolts to remove: 3

Open the hood.

Remove 2 bolts from the side of the headlight assembly. They are easily visible and located one above the other on the side that the headlight portion is on. (If removing the drivers side unit, the bolts will be on the left side of the assembly and vise versa for the passenger side)

The 3rd bolt is hidden deep between the underside of the turn signal portion and the bumper. It's very hard to locate, since the gap between the headlight unit and the bumper is so small. You may need a flashlight to locate the bolt head. Squeeze your socket extension throught the gap to reach the bolt.

Carefully pull the assembly out (it's one whole unit), but becareful not to pull too far as the headlight and turn signal bulb wires are still attatched to the unit. Rotate and pull the turn signal socket out from the back of the unit. Remove the bulb and replace.

Answer 2

If you are talking about the rear bulbs:

Open tailgate, remove 2 screws just around the corner from the lamp, hidden by the tailgate.

If you are talking about a front bulb:
Open the hood.
One screw is hidden by the grill on the inner side of the headlight housing.
The other screw is on the lower outer edge of the headlight assembly.
Pull assembly foward, replace bulb.

Answer 3

Your the front lighting fixtures have 2 metal, L-shaped rods that carry your headlight assembly in position. turn both rods & pull them immediately up, eliminating them from the assem. Now pull your headlight out & replace the bulb. The rear lighting fixtures require you to achieve in & twist the connector & pull it immediately decrease back out. you'll word tabs on the socket that would want to line up with the holes contained in the tail mild.
