amber marker lights

How hard is it to change the front amber side marker lights on a 2008 SL550?

amber lights

If I recall correctly you remove the front section of the inner fender liner and then its one screw and a little tab that you just push and it pops right out. I think it took me maybe half an hour. Seems I removed the front wheels for better access. Hope this helps.
