how to change corner bulb in headlights?
One of my corner bulbs, the bottom one with the reflextor in the headlight went out and I looked but could not see the plug and it looks like you have to actually take out the headlights but is there a better way?

I think you only need to remove a few of the plastic "nuts" to pull the fenderwell lining back enough... probably have to remove the wheel though unless you can squeeze in there to get it.

There's also 2 bolts on each side. One in the middle by the edge of the fender, The other under the wheel well right by the bumper.
NOTE: Don't break or loose the clips. If you do only a dealer will have them, & may not have them in stock. Mine didn't.

hm when I swapped mine all I had to do was take out the 1 phillips screw in the wheel well and then take out the 1 bolt that holds the bumper to the wheel well plastic directly under the bumper. That let me pull the bumper away and push the wheel well plastic forward enough to get my hand up to the back of the headlight. I think I know the push-clip in question... it's a little bit forward around the edge of the underside of the bumper past the bolt I took out. Shouldn't need to worry about it.
