Corner Lamp!
How do I get to this corner lamp? I know that there is an easier way than jacking the car up and pulling the wheel well off.

Just turn the steering wheel to full lock and use a plastic wedge to GENTLY pry open the lip of the wheel well liner. Then just slide your hand in and unhook the lamp socket from the lamp housing.

I thought he was referring to the cornering illumination bulb which should be accessible from the engine compartment. Remove the flap and twist the carrier holding the bulb and it can be changed.

Oops, malted hops inspired response. That bulb is accessible from the high beam access hole, but you can't really see it, you kind of just have to feel for it below the high beam bulb.

This turned out to be a Sam problem. The dealership has it now.
