2011 GL350 Bluetec
Side marker light replacement

Hello all, I am new here. I have a 2011 GL350 Bluetec with front side marker light out and needs replacing. This is the amber bulb just under and outside of the low beam headlight (between the headlight and the front fender). I have watched several videos of people replacing them from under the hood. That will not work on my car, no room and I can't even feel the bulb socket. Other options seem to take off the front grill. But it appears the easiest may be to remove the front wheel and plastic wheel well liner and access it that way. Anyone here have any experience on the easiest route? Thanks

It's kinda weird you say you can't reach it from inside. It's not fun, but it's doable.

Lubricate the o-ring when you reassemble and it will save you gray hairs.

It's not that bad to take out the headlight assembly, but it's not fun either. Maybe post a picture from inside of what's there blocking the way.
