If your hand is too large to get it from the brake vent or from above (some go thru the open light housing I believe), I'm afraid you'll have to get at it from underneath. There's a plastic access panel below each turn signal that can be removed to for easy access to the bulbs.

Do you mean the directional? If so you have to remove the housing (3 Phillips) from around the headlight and reach down and take out the old ligh bulb. If you have large forearms it helps to remove the hood adjuster next to the headlight also.
Press in on the tab on the bulb holder and rotate the holder out of the socket on the bumper light. Take the old bulb out and put a new one in. Place it back into the bumper light and twit til it clicks in place.
Replace all the rest and you should be ready to go.
If you have small enough arms you can push back on the brake cooler duct and get it done through there.
If all else fails. Jack it up, remove the screws from the panel directly under the bumper light and take out the old and put in the new.
Good Luck
