Default Front Turn Signal Assemblies

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone can tell me the best way to R2 the left and right front turn signal assemblies...does not seem to be any direct acess...do I need to access them from the wheel well by removing the fender liner? Anyone change these before? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Mark.

If your just changing out the bulb, it's EZ to access through the brake cooling vent in the front bumper. Just reach inside the brake cooling vent and it will unclip and push back. You'll then be able to unclip the bulb harness and pull it back out through the vent.
