Introduction

The turn signal allows you to communicate with other drivers on the road when you are turning, merging lanes, or (if both turn signals are used together) that you are in a hazardous situation and other drivers should use caution. If one of these turn signals are out, it could lead to miscommunication and dangerous consequences on the road.

Before utilizing this guide, ensure that the blown turn signal bulb is in one of the rear taillights. This guide is not for headlight bulbs. Ensure that all other turn signals and other bulbs in the taillight are working to ensure that it is indeed just a blown bulb.
