If I remember correctly you go from under the car, turn the socket counter clockwise, and pull the socket and bulb out the back of the housing. I'll have to look at my car when I get home to be sure though.

Thanks, i switched out my right one with a new one but it still doesnt work. Also now ive noticed that while driving my right turn signal in the dash stays on. (Not flashing just solid) Any ideas of what could be causing this problem?

I have one like that too. All the bulbs light and function properly, but the instrument panel indicator for the right blinker lights and stays lit as long as the lights are on. I haven't investigated yet, but have a feeling there is a minor short in the right front.

When my left turn light stayed on solid, it was because my front left turn signal bulb was burned out. The bulb has 2 filaments in it, so even though it lights up when the lights are on it won't flash. At least that's how it was for me. I sure GM along with most car companies have similar schemes to let you know when the turn signals aren't functioning correctly.
