parking light on driver side is out...how do i get to it?

Whats the easiest way to change out a driver side parking light? the orange one that stays lit up the whole time when they lights are on? I noticed this morning on the way into work that I had one out, but ive never had to get to or change out any bulbs on the car.

Dont tell me i have to take off the whole front bumper??

thats a pain in the butt to do just to change out a bulb??

If you have small hands you can try to maneuver your way in and out. Otherwise you can take out the headlight enough for you to change the bulb

Yes you can partially remove the bumper and get to it that way. Honestly I like the way they designed it so that peoples headlamps and HID's wont get stolen left and right. I dont mind the extra little work I can do it quick now.

you just do that by the top two bolts that are bolted to the engine bay of the car?

Funny... I thought my pass parking light went out last night, when i autostarted my Evo and then after getting back home, it was fine. I searched about it and someone mentioned taking out part of the fender lining to get to ther housing. Uggh....

but I think taking out the headlights might be the easiest way.
