Changing marker bulbs

Sorry if this is a really simple question, but how do you change the corner marker lights on C3's? You have to go behind them?

Just twist and turn the socket, then pull out of the housing, then just pull out the bulb and then just replace the bulb and twist the socket back in the housing.

Reach up behind the quarter panel/fender, grab the bulb socket and turn 1/4 turn counter clockwise and pull the socket from the marker housing. The bulb is a flat blade type bulb that simply pulls straight out.

Bulb is a 194.

Rear markers are easy to access.
Front fender markers are a biatch to get to unless you have 3 elbows and arms like Stretch Armstrong.

Yep, be careful. Something like this normally results in a "frame off" restoration! That's what drove me there.
