First check the bulb holder contacts they are prone to oxidisation,put the hazards on and wriggle the bulb around,or if you have a meter check for 12 v.

I think you have to take the bumper off to get at the indicator housings,as far as I know the feed for them comes straight out of a sealed loom.The bumper can damage the wires if its had a knock.Sorry I can't be of more help...
