How to replace front signal light on 1996 Eclipse. Does all housing need to come off?

There will be a number of smaller screws around the outside of the bumper, like in the wheel well and under the car by the splash shield under the engine. All of those will need to be removed. Then you need to remove the turn signal lights in the front bumper with a long phillips screwdriver. Take a flashlight and look inside the bumper through the lower grill at the side of the turn signal housing. You'll see a small hole for the screwdriver. The screw doesn't need to come all the way out to remove the light.
Remove turn signal housing on both sides and look back at the frame crossmember behind the bumper. There are two large bolts on each side holding the bumper on. You'll need some extensions to reach them. Once those are out, you'll be able to tell if you missed any smaller screws/clips.

check electrical connections

The bulb holders are the smaller,usually white, twist locks directly above the large black headlight cover. It's tucked under the cross bar the bonnet catch bolts to. If there is no bulbs in there you will need the orange coated ones. If none of the indicators work check the fuses and the relay as well.

IF THE TURN SIGNALS STILL WORK IN THE FRONT, THAT MEANS THE FUSE & THE FLASHER ARE OK. IF THE SIGNALS DON'T WORK AT ALL CHECK TURN SIGNAL FUSE & STOP / BRAKE FUSE. ARE YOU SURE THE CORRECT BULBS ARE BEING USED?

you should only have to pull the steering wheel and upper and lower housing on the column,

should be 1 silver phillips head screw on the corner light housing where the housing meets your front headlight housing. once you take that screw out, pull the corner light housing straight towards you, like towards the nose of the car, unclup the harness for the light bulb and your good to go

YOU HAVE TO THE FRONT HEADLIGHT HOUSING TO REPLACE THE TURN SIGNAL BULB.

Good luck, and rated me!!!

you may be able to access the bulb housing under the hood. open the hood and look behind the turn signal for the bulb housing. once located, grasp the housing and turn counterclockwise about a quarter and then pull. be sure to replace wtih the same type/part number bulb.

there are 4 bolts. one on top, 2 on the back and one on the bottom. have you already removed the front bumper . if not it needs to come off.
