Replacing left turn signal assembly 2020 Gladiator Overland

[billsfanmd]

My left turn signal lens was cracked. Now the led bulb is burned out and I see condensation in there. Getting the annoying bulb out message 300 times a day
Question. I am good at replacing things esp if I see it on youtube or other site. Anyone else change the entire left turn signal assembly? tips or vid out there? I looked and saw a fewe that were close but not exact. anyone done this or have a vid? It looks like once you remove under wheel liner with fir tool, alot of odd bolts to remove then wrestle it out?

Use the install video on this extreme terrain link. You can do it without removing the fender as shown although you kind of have to force the fender up just enough to put the light out. You could always just pull the whole fender off by yanking on (easier in my opinion) but buy replacement fender clips as they will most likely break.

I did the OEM incandescent to OEM led turn signal swap and you need to remove the fender liner to have full access to everything. You could cuss, swear and kick the dog trying to avoid the liner removal by peeling it back but the liner removal is the easiest way for access to the housing and the harness that snakes to the rear of the fender inside. The yank the whole fender off may work also but it is a pick your poison decision.

The lense housing will have a strip of two sided 3M tape on the top inside lip of the lens where it meets the fender. May need a heat gun to loosen that up to pull it off and if the replacement does not come with new 2 sided 3M tape, will need about a 6 inch piece of 3/8" wide tape when putting back together or there may be gaps between the lens and fender.

The connector and wires for the side marker are kind of sensitive. Avoid putting ANY pressure on the wires. The pins pull out and then won't reseat properly.

This is sounding more and more like a nightmare

It's not that difficult, just in one of those PITA places.

After an hour of stuggling I had to pull the wheel well away from the body. Looks like 2-3 white clips. Are they avail? Part number? Easy to get new ones in? Thx
