Default turning light help

I was wondering if you guys could help me out here, my front left turning light only works half the time, does that mean I have to change the bulb? if so how do I take the casing out? my car is a 99 Civic EX, I dont really want to take it to the shop if I could just do this myself.

Thanks so much.

hey, ya it sounds like your balb is getting ready to blow..if you have your honda manul it tells you how to take it out in there, but if not, your going to have to take one of the clips of your fender lining out, untill theres enoph room were you can stick your hand behind it and see were the turn signal plugs in, grab the pulg and give it a little twist and it will pop out, pop the bulb out and put the new one in and your set, test the signal before you put it back toughter

If you bulb is blown the blinker will blink REALLY fast.

it may be what happened on my car. My blinker started working only some of the time, then none of the time. It turned out the plastic plug thing that connects the wires to the light itself gave out. So if you change the bulb and the problem continues it may be that

And I tried to get the socket(!) that the bulb goes into but Honda said you need a whole wiring harness to get that part. Thanks to a good person on this forum I paid (much less!) for a socket.
