Hello,
There are several ways of replacing the front left signals but the method i am going to describe to you is the easiest way to go about the replacement,which involves the removal of the bumper and the well wheel.
STEP 1
There are several screws on the underside of the bumper, they have 10 mm heads,with the help of the appropriate screw-drivers,take your time to remove them. There are 2 10 mm screws holding the grill and bumper in place, at the top corners of the grill, remove them.

STEP 2.
There are some screws holding the wheel well to the bumper, along the outer edge of the well, remove them. They are snap in screws, so you may have to pry them out.

STEP 3. There is one metal screw holding the wheel well to the body, at the upper, outer edge of the wheel well,take it out.
STEP 4.
There is also another snap in screw that is located under the wheel well. It's in front of the well, about 14 inches. There is a 10 mm screw that holds the front of the wheel well to another piece of molding that is attached to the underside of the vehicle. If you are looking at the front of the tire, from the outside of the well, it will be strait ahead, about 6" from the bottom of the well. Once you get this screw off, you must bend the plastic out from under the "skid plate" plastic cover. At this point, the front plastic of the wheel well should fold down. Bend it out of the way, but you have to be careful so you don't end up breaking it.
STEP 5
After the removal of all these screws,take out the bumper out of the way so you will be able to see the headlight assembly.

STEP 6.
There are 2 screws that hold the top of the assembly in place, one screw that holds the bottom front of the assembly in place (blocked by the bumper) and another screw that holds the far right side of the assembly in place (blocked by the bumper, almost at the wheel well) At the top, there are 2 points where the assembly snaps onto the frame, pry them up. There is 1 place, near the wheel well that is also snapped into place.

STEP 7.
Remove these screws and the headlight assembly will come out. Change the light, the mount twists out of the assembly.

STEP 8
To re-assemble,you have to carry out the reverse of the whole steps.

Thank you for using fixya.

Open the hood . Looking at the headlight assembly.Directly behind it there are 2 clips in the frame. you will have to pull these up and out. Then the assembly will pull out from the from to access the sockets and bulbs. the sockets turn to get them out. sometimes the is another clip that will hold the assembly in. just pull on the assembly and it will pop loose.

Trailer wiring

you have to purchase a converter box with 5 wires, red, yellow, green and brown. this is because your turn signal is seperate from you parking and brake light bulb. you have to wire it straight in behind the connector.your basically converting two wires ( brakes and parking) to one wire (tailights) 5 wire to 4 wire.
