2001 coupe - remove front turn signal cover/unit
so i got stuck in a pretty bad thunder storm last week and ended up getting water up in the turn signal unit. the bulb blew up and there is glass in the lens area so i need to remove it and clean it out.
any instructions on how to remove? also is this just the nature of this model or do i have to seal it so water doesn't get in there (or buy a new one?) this is the second time the bulb burnt out but this time the bulb just blew up. i replaced it and it works ok but want to clean it out and try to prevent it from happening again.

Good link above. It's not a hard job, just time consuming and tight quarters for some of the screws that hold the housing in.
