    Hi all,

    Caught a rock in the left turn signal/DRL unit of my 2012. I've already bought a replacement (roughly $100 for an aftermarket TYC from Amazon), but I'm not sure how difficult it is to swap it out. Has anyone done it? Any tips?

    It's easy, you can access the housing from below. Remove a few fasteners from the triangular cover under that corner and reach up.

    Or, if you really want to see what's going on behind the bumper cover, remove it for even more room to work with. This is for a 2010, but things shouldn't be too different:

    Did you get the black clips that hold the assembly to the bumper with the light? They are on the top & bottom of the light
