Default Front C5 ZO6 turn signal bulb replacement

Struggling with a 2001 ZO6 trying to replace the front driver side turn signal bulb with out tearing apart more than I need to.
Any ideas from the forum?
Thanks, ZZZ0ZZZ

Mine is a coup but I raised the headlights so I could see down inside and just reached in and released the socket and pulled out and replaced. It is tight and I don't have small hands and it worked for me. Took all of two minutes

Same here. It's easy now that I've done it a few times.

I did like Bjones and took off the plastic panel surrounding the headlight(2 Screws) and reached right down and changed the bulb. Don't lose the small gasket that surround the bulb base. Took 10 minutes. The headlight was up ofcourse. I raised it manually so it wouldn't close on me while my arm was down in there.

I just put in some switchback bulbs after removing the shrouds. I disconnected the battery after I put the lights up instead of raising them manually. My hands didn't fit in the brake openings.
