Need Advice on Changing Light Bulb

The little orange side light is out on the driver side front headlight. I popped the hood and I don't think I can change it easily from there. Any advice how to do this easy?

I just did this not even a week ago, except mine was the passenger side

You need to remove part of the fender liner. I would take off the wheel for easier access. I had just turned mine to the left (since I was working on the pass. side) and it was absolute hell trying to twist the bulb to secure it back in place.

Yeah, I had a feeling I had to go pass the fender liner. I was trying to avoid this because I'm lazy.

It's not that bad. One screw and 8 clips or so to be able to get enough of it out of the way to access the headlight. And taking the wheel off/on is cake.

dayum, you guys are making it hard...

Turn the wheel hard "IN" (if you're on the right side, turn the wheel to the far left, on the left to the hard right). Undo 2-3 clips on the top/front, enough to bend the fender liner in, and reach your hand in to the back of the bulb housing. Twist, and pull the bulb out. It's on a long extension. I did this on my evo in the snow in the walmart parking lot 2 weeks ago

I did that and couldn't fit any more than my fingers in there. Guess I have big hands.
