Follow these steps carefully
On the 2011-2023 Dodge Charger the front turn signal is a 3157-series dual-filament amber bulb (3157NA/3457NA family) — it doubles as the front parking light, glowing dimly as a marker and brightly for the signal.
Support any liner you peel back so it does not tear. Never force access — if the socket will not come out from one side, try the other route before breaking plastic.
Unclip the connector if needed and pull the old 3157 bulb straight out of the socket — do not twist a wedge-base bulb, which shatters the glass.
Install the exact replacement: an amber 3157NA/3457NA dual-filament bulb for the front turn signal — clear bulbs are not legal in the amber front position and will also hyper-flash or throw errors on some cars.
Confirm the parking-light (dim filament) function works too — remember this bulb does double duty. If the other side's bulb is the same age, replace it now: when one 3157 goes, its mate is usually weeks behind.
I replace the mate too when one 3157 goes — I've seen the other side follow within weeks, and doing both now saves reopening everything later.
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
