There should be 2 screws (one at the bottom, and one about in the middle) in
each rear turnsignal lens. With these screws out, the lens should come right
off. The T/S bulb, is the upper bulb, or should be.
Check the fuses, and the Emergency flasher switch. all the T/S's go through
the e-flasher switch. If it gets corroded, (as mine was), none of the turn
signals will work.
