Default Turn signal replacement

I need to replace the front turn signal lamp. Both the owners manual and a thread in this forum say to "Remove the front fascia lower closeout panel". What is the front fascia close out panel?

As an aside, I found it amusing that the owners manual has a picture of the lens and screws that need to be removed on the rear lights (Duh!) But no picture of the front for us poor slobs who don't know what a "front fascia" is--I even tried the dictionary, but all it mentioned was buildings and connective tissue. Enough ranting...
Any insight into this simple replacement would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Front Fascia is the front bumper and if you look under the front of the car there is a panel that can be removed OR You can do like some here do If you can fit your hand in the brake cooling duct. the duct can be move to the side and the bulb can be removed pulled back thur the hole replaced and put back in

I take off the headlight bezels and put the headlight halfway down and reach through the opening.
