Exclamation Turn signal bulb

Any suggestion on easiest way to change the passenger side turn signal bulb. Does the headlight need to be removed? Driver side I could reach fine.

there is an inexplicably large metal bracket providing support for the electrical connector on the SBC. It can be temporarily pushed off to the side (after removing the single screw securing it) in order to gain better access to the bulbs in the passenger side headlight assy.

Cheers,
Chris
