So for some reason both lights on the left side of my car, probably cause my autobody guy sucked after getting t-boned, but the small white turning light and the big orange unlock/lock light, went out... sorry I think there called the side marker light and not sure what the other one is. Anyways my question is how do I remove the larger orange one? I saw the turning light is just a pop out but how about the orange lock/unlock one, do I need to get under the wheel well and take off the plastic to get to it. Also would anyone know what light part no. or what to look for on rockauto would be great guys. Sorry for the bad car terms...
 
Okay so I just found this old post, great info, probably will just buy both for left and right.

so I'm guessing the turning light is the small white turn lights, so what is the big orange covered lights near the bottom of the bumper on both sides considered? Is that the parking light? Sorry it's just so confusing. Also if I get two new turn lights will they still be orange cause I don't want them to be white.. Thanks a lot for any help.
 
So I didnt get much replies and decided to do it yesterday myself, of course it wasn't hard at all I just wanted inside info. I pulled out both bulbs, the turn light bulb and the map light bulb. The map light bulb is the orange on the bottom in case you didn't know, and you need to jack it up a bit to get the plastic cover off a little bit to get to it. It was kind of hard trying to find the exact fit light bulbs to these because advanced auto parts had like a million that looked like they fit. Anyways the light part no. from advanced auto that fit on my car, which had stock lights were: turn light- 194NA, map light-168. I got the 194 NA LL and 168 LL, which is long life. Then while installing them, my turn light is now working, but my map light still didnt, and i tried a couple bulbs. Anyways my fog lights were working and that was what the map light draws power from also. So i knew it was the wiring or the connections. I took a look at the connection and noticed green on the terminals, aka corrosion, or oxidation. So I went in and didnt have any baking soda, because you need carbonate or bicarbonate to remove the oxidation. I just poured some Dr. Pepper, hahah on it which is an old trick to use an battery corroded terminals. I went to put it back in and now it works like new. Just a small how to, part no, slash, home remedy fix. haha.
