Default stupid question - changing front blinker, does the entire headlight need to come out?

front driver side blinker died today. i just tried to pull the globe out but it seems that the entire headlight assembly needs to come out..

had a search on the forum and couldn't find an answer..

so do i have to pull the lot out? (it's 10pm and i've been up since 3am so i can't be bothered playing with it at the moment)

cheers

nope... pull the clips out of the wheel arch, then just locate, twist and pull out the globe and holder.. quite easy..

Another way is to go from underneath. You take off the undertray and reach up. I found it was much easier to go this way. I was going to go the wheel arch way myself, but JC who gave me the undertray tip. Worked a treat.

All the best with it.
