How to Change 99 Camaro Front Signal Lights

In the 1993 model year, Chevrolet completely redesigned the Camaro, giving it a wedge-like design. In 1998, Chevy refreshed the Camaro, eliminating the sunken headlights and making them almost flush with the rest of the front fascia. The rest of the Camaro's body remained almost the same, including the bumper-mounted front turn signals. This body style lasted through the Camaro's final year, 2002. Replacing the turn signal bulbs on the 1999 Camaro required removal of the engine splash guard.

Instructions

    1

    Raise the front end of the Camaro with a floor jack. Position jack stands beneath the vehicle's frame rails and lower the Camaro onto the stands.

    2

    Crawl beneath the vehicle and remove the screws securing the plastic splash guard to the front underside of the vehicle. Pull the splash guard off the Camaro.

    3

    Reach behind the turn signal assembly and grab the bulb socket. Twist this socket counterclockwise to unlock it, and pull the socket away from the assembly.

    4

    Pull the failed bulb from the socket with a slight wiggling motion. Grab a new 3157 bulb, using a clean, lint-free cloth, and press it into the socket. Do not touch the bulb with your bare hands, as the oils from your hands may cause early bulb failure.

    5

    Insert the socket and new bulb into the rear of the turn signal assembly and twist the socket clockwise to lock it in place.

    6

    Set the splash guard back in place, then tighten the screws with a Phillips screwdriver.

    7

    Lift the Camaro from the jack stands, using a floor jack, and remove the stands. Lower the Camaro to the ground.
