Projector access mystery V70-XC70

Does anyone know how to access the corner projector lighting assembly (ABM)on a '98 v70? The retail vendor suggested the assembly was held to with "springs"under tension but I found none. The headlight assembly appears to be firmly installed with clips around the edges and serviced from the back. Pretty much the way that the original assembly must have been installed. It is the parking/turn signal assembly that, while firmly in place, isn't giving up any maintenance secrets. My unit appears to have a loosely seated bulb. . Parking feature flakes out while the turn indicator remains working. A light smack brings it around temporarily. This impressive aftermarket kit is clearly well made but is woefully short of user indoctrination. I deal with a fair amount of technology and have noticed a trend to rely on YouTube and/or PDFs from the manufacturer website to indoctrinate the public. In place of the reliable old user guides and manuals. ABM seems to offer neither.
Thanks!

The turn signal housing is held in via a plastic tab that is pushed lightly down and then the housing is pulled forward and out.

Before you do that, check the bulb wiring harness. Make sure it is not loose at the back of the turn signal housing. There should only be one bulb, with dual filaments, similar to a brake light bulb. It is possible that the bulb needs to be replaced, or the base of the bulb needs cleaning.
