Default Easiest way to change Front parking/turn signal bulb on '73??

I searched and found no posts or videos on this, so I thought I would try to save trial and error and ask what way is the easiest to access the bulbs for the front left and right parking/turn signal bulbs behind the grate lens in the lower front before going into the wrong or harder access areas? The prior owner put in white/clear bulbs and I want to replace them with the correct Amber bulbs. Any help, pics, etc... appreciated.

I don't have a 73 but have you tried reaching from under the car to the back of the lamp assembly.

Remove bulb AND socket by turning 1/4 (or 1/3) turn and pulling out of housing. Change bulb. Be sure to install it correctly; some can be installed WRONG because pins on opposite side are not at the same height! Reinstall socket/bulb.
