Turn Signal Wiring and lights

A few questions actually

1. Would a 15cm long bulb fit into the oem turn signal
casing? For the FRS
2. Do i need to take off the entire front bumper to reinstall a completely new oem turn signal wiring and everything?

The turn signals
are above the foglights. Not the headlights like the Brz


Thanks

I was confused. i get it now.
i still dont think 15cm bulb would fit.
for bulb changing, i think you need to pry plastic cover from front or access from fenderliner

i fit a 52.18mm led bulb into the oem turn signal housing which converted to cm would be 5.218cm and it's almost close to touching the housing

a 15cm bulb would not fit honestly....where did you find such a long bulb?

No it wouldn't fit. That's approximately 6" long.
