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!

Are you talking about the side marker light that's in the bumper? If so there's a little access panel under the bumper on each corner for you to reach your arm up in there to switch out the bulb. Took me less than 2 minutes to change it.

I am talking about the one that is integrated into the turn signal, like a bottom eyelash? I can see the bulb slightly if I pop off the larger of the 2 headlight access panels but can't seem to get to it and it feels like I am trying to make it more difficult than it is supposed to be 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.
