You have to go up underneath the front end, right in front of the left or right fender, which ever side you need to replace. You will need to take out about 4 bolts, pull the plastic down, and reach up in there and take the lamp out. The more bolts you undue to remove the plastic, the more room you will have to work with.

Just like he said, except lemmie put some emphasis on being careful. The plastic is very thin and will strip out easily.. I have a few stripped holes thanks to a clear corner install.

Also, another tip would be to spray down those bolts with some rust penetrant. Like stated above, the plastic is brittle and once those bolts rust in there, both the plastic and the bolts tend to break. I learned that the hard way..
