Default Directional Bulb Replacement

I know this must be easy however, I can't figure out how to get to the right directional bulb. Does anyone know an easyway to get at and replace the bulb?

You can actually raise the headlights with the manual open ****. I opted to remove the hood bumper screw and reach down from the side. In either case, keep your fingers off the new lamp. Skin oil on the glass reduces the lamp's lifespan.

I replaced mine though the brake cooling duct. the duct can be moved to the side and the bulb can be twisted out and there is enuff wire to pull it out and swap the bulb
