Default Replace rear bulbs

I've run a search but 'no information' available. How do you replace
the driver side rear blinker bulb.. I have taken the license fram off
but my are is to large to fit in. Which way do you turn to bulb socket?
Is there an easier way?
Thanks your your help..

Remove the license plate, remove the reverse bulb housing and go at it. Some people have been able to snake their arms up from beneath past the mufflers.
