Default Amber side marker lamp Bulb

My LEFT FRONT side marker lamp is out on my 99LS.

Is there a simple way to change the bulb?
I have removed/loosened the parking lamp and lower splash panels, with out any success,,, and I dont want to start disassembling the thing..
"behind the headlamp, maybe" or remove the battery?? ?
any help appreciated....

I've never replaced one these but you might be able to get to the bulb by removing the left front fog light and the little dummy light housing beside it -- I've removed those and it was easy. But I think the "standard" way of replacing the bulb in the amber side marker is by loosening the wheel well lining enough to slip your hand in.

yeah you really need to unbolt the splash panel and TINY hands to get to that bulb.

WOW! you said it, it is a real problem to get to it.... I had to have help putting the new bulb in, my hands are so large I could not put it in and turn it at the same time.... Good old Jon to my rescue...
