Take the numberplate off. Remove those bolts that attache the bumper to the car that you can easily reach through the hole made (left and right low). That is to pull the bumper back so you can put your arm inside. Otherwise you need VERY skinny arms.
Reach to the inner lights with a rattle and 10 mm key. You find at the top and the bottom of the light two bolts. They ar not exactly at top and bottom, but at 1 and 7 a´clock. Take the bolts out and you can take the light out.
Througt the hole of the innerlights you can reach the outer lights.
Good luck and pray for those guys with short fat arms.
Regards,
Nico
