Yes I already looked in the FAQ Section. I saw ONE little thing about it. Am I getting this correctly? To remove the front turnsignals in the bumper, I crawl under the front of the car and remove a screw for each light inside the bumper?
 
Yep.

The service manual has as good a description as any, and a search would find more info and a few pictures. Two items for consideration:

A) Find the screw just under the light on the underside of the bumper (you'll need a long philips screwdriver-- really long).
B) Be brave and push the light from the side so it pops out enough to grab it.
 
drew, I noticed in the link (sorry to jump in on the thread, but I'm in need of changing the parking light as well) but did I understand it correctly that the replacement light needs to be bought from the dealership? I was planning on picking one up from an auto parts store?! You can't tell I'm a new owner, can you? ;)
 
Welcome.

The lamps used are standard parts, no need to go to dealer.

Or you can use LEDs (conduct search for superbrightleds.com), but a few of us have been experiencing failures of the LED units.

You either have to have a very long phillips screwdriver, or a narrow handle or force the bottom part of handle of a Craftsman into the bumper fascia (different, but no damage occurs).

Whew! Thanks. Nice to know there are somethings a mechanically novice owner can still do by going to the "good ol' fashioned pep boys"! He he he. I have a phillips to do the trick, I'm almost certain. Thanks again!
 
The front parking light bulbs (white, inside edge of plastic assembly) are not the same as the auto parts store bulbs. The OEM's are 7 watt and the typical one with the size format at the auto parts store is a 5 watt. Been there, done that. You may notice some NSX's with differing brightness, this is due to the "NAPA" version, instead of OEM:).

Now if you update them both you will have even brightness;).

BTW, you need quite a long phillips head screwdriver to get to the screw. I purchased a long one for this purpose.

HTH,
