i have this issue, no bulbs to change you have to change the whole assembly.

I ordered what looks like a depot branded one, i'll let you know how it is.

I experienced the exact same problem a few months ago.
Bought and installed an aftermarket replacement sidemarker made by Depo-- still works perfectly.

Buy a couple of the plastic push-bolts attaching the wheel well liner before you start-- you'll probably break one or two while moving the fender liner aside to reach the driver side front sidemarker.

Front sidemarkers are so annoying to reach too.

No-- the owner's manual shows how to partially detach the wheel well liner/fender liner and fold it to reach the sidemarker lights.

i made a video of the replacement of mine, i'll be sure to edit and post it soon. Broke the lens off my drivers side trying to pry it out (couldnt get to the far clip with my hand). not a big deal since i had brand new ones waiting to go in.

Depo ones work well. The lens on them are a slight shade darker than my 9 year old OEM Stanleys (maybe they faded a little?).

Did both my drivers and passenger side. Drivers side was totally out, passenger following closely behind.

Same thing that happened to me. I bought the smoked fronts and backs as a set. There the switchback ones. White led. So far so good. And there "depo"
