How to change parking lights?

Had a bulb go out in the bottom of the right headlight, owners manual doesn't outline how to access this bulb. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

You can access the parking light through there? That large circle cap that looks like it's for the main headlight? Sorry if this is a stupid question I just got this thing yesterday haha!

Figured it out, for anyone else confused in the future, these are accessible from the front fender wells, not the engine bay.

You have to remove 3 push rivets and pull the front of the fender liner back. Then there is a small cap that takes a quarter turn to remove, then the bulb socket is in there. You pull it straight out, it doesn't turn.
