    There are 6 little clips behind the bezel and you can reach down with one hand and pop each one while u use the other hand to pull it off from the front! Here are some picks!

    @moe2o4 I did manage to take that off earlier, but they screw in from the other side?

    I just reached down the engine bay, there's enough room to fit a small human in there.

    The screw is either in from the front in that little hole or the back. It's a Phillips and only one screw holds the light in. Once it's out the light will come out.

    Same here. Pain in the ass (especially the passenger side) but doable

    Flashlight, long sleeve shirt and patience as you reach down under the hood to twist off the bulb. 5 minute job.

    You can also access the light from under the bumper after you remove about 3 screws for the splash shield

    I reached in from under the hood behind the headlight, a little trick but can do. Use a stubby screwdriver to adjust the up/down height, don't want to strip that.

    I'm pretty sure it's on the turn signal stock!

    But I'm going to put a separate switch so I can have them on whenever I want on my SR!
