Replacing front turn signal bulb on a 99 Camry

Ok so my right signal has been blinking fast and thought a bulb was burnt out but they all work. My friend thinks a filament in the front bulb is bad so I was gonna replace the bulb and wondering waht do I need to do to get to it? I see theres one plastic screw that I was able to remove on top of the marker, but dunno if i just need to manhandle the thing to pull it out or if anything else is holding it in

If you want to get the whole signal housing out, the instructions are all in the manual that came with the car. I think its somewhere toward the end.

Remove the one screw and slide it forward.

yep slide it forward. Put your palms on the side where the reflector is and just push in and towards the front of the car. it may require some persuasian....

if it blinks fast, have you tried just hitting the housing?

Although i've never heard of a problem with the right side, the left typically suffers from a sensor error that needs to be replaced...or you just hit the housing everytime it starts blinking fast and that'll solve the issue.
