changing - side marker light

Hello,
Probably a really simple question but I'm not sure. My left side marker is out. That little orange lite in front of the left front wheel. I've looked under the hood and it looks quite buried. Is this an easy/doable job? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

thanks for any help!

well if you are talking about the ones on the bumper then it is a 5 min job maybe even less. you just take the cover off and you will see the bulb sitting there.

I figured it was simple. Those little orange ones on the bumper indeed. I've felt around and tried to pull it off with my hands or at least see if there is some give.
I was hesitant to pry it with a flathead screwdriver or something similar. It just opos off forward?

Thanks!

get a flathead, wrap it with a microfiber towel, nudge it between the bumper and sidemarker towards where the wheel is, then you push forward towards the front bumper and lift up, should pop right out.
