Question Bulb Replacement DIY Instructions

Looking to get instructions on changing the bulb in the orange side marker pictured below. I got the replacement bulb from the dealer and would like to get rid of the annoying faulty bulb code by changing the bulb myself……..if anyone can give me brief instructions or provide a link I would appreciate it (car is 01-E430)

Ive not had luck popping out out from the wheel well. I just pry the thing out with a fine screwdriver from the outside.

do both - press the plastic catch from the inside, while gently prying it off
from the outside. note that the light fixture also has spring loaded plastic
catches on the forward edge as well.
