[s-cars] front turn signals

[Robert Rossato]

This may be a little late, but don't forget that you need to unlock the
tab first.  There is a Phillips shaped plastic screw you have to turn a
1/4 turn to allow the tab to be pushed down.  Once that is done, then
you can push the tab to release the turn signal housing.  The tab is
spring loaded and clicks in place to hold the turn signal housing in.
The screw is a safety lock to prevent the tab from being pushed down.
Of course, this assumes that if anyone removed them  previously, they
didn't leave the tab in the unlocked position.  In which case you'll be
able to push down on the tab unencumbered.  The screw/tab can be
accessed through a slot in the radiator support next to the fender.
