Just bought a 2010 kizashi, suzuki is about 75 miles from were I live so it is a pain to drive back and forth for simple tasks... My left turn signal just went out after six months, so I decided to go to autozone for the bulb... yes, autozone has the bulb but in order to get to it and replace it, I have to take off the front bumper and a crap tone of other things... Basically, suzuki designed this vehicle just so the simplest of tasks like changing a bulb. One will have to bring the vehicle back to the shop were they got it from... Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but this is how I feel and a little upset over it... I did research the vehicle. I love it, just never thought of researching how difficult it will be to replace a bulb... just venting love the car since it get over 500 miles to a full tank... thats the best part...

Nytq, open the hood to yours if you have one and look were the turn signal bulb is located... not the bulb on the quarter panel but the one in with the head ligths... Worse design ever and I did not take the time to look at that...

It's not a very good design at all. I was annoyed when i wanted to install HID's.

I finally figured out how to take off the front bumper and headlights with the help of other forum members here and i can do it quite easily now.

If it wasn't raining today i would be changing both my turn signals to stealth bulbs. I hope the weather is better tomorrow so i can do it.

Once you give it a go you notice it isn't that hard and can probably take the bumper off, headlight off, install the bulb and put everything back together within 30mins.
MODS: catback exhaust, RRM SRI, 6000k HID, white led's all round, 22% tint, Rear swaybar, LED drl's, chrome stealth turn signal, scanguage II.
