I removed mine from underneath the car. You have a plastic peice under the front bumper on both sides. I took out the screws and removed it and then reached inside and took the screws loose that holds the DRL in and brought it out of the bottom. Hope this helps a little.

I assume you are talking about the bulb.
You can go in through the top.
Manually raise your light, take off the light cover and shroud and you can reach down and change it. There are 5 screws total if memory serves me correct. easy 15 min job

I did it from the top and it's only three screws to remove the shroud. I'd have to raise my car too much to do it from below.

Or, reach in the brake cooling duct from the front, just push the accordion back and move it to the side, you can reach in from there also.

Tried the brake cooling duct route, no screws & 5 minutes, great idea.

Here ya go, I did mine about a month ago without lifting the car. Follow the link and go to post #90 and follow the instructions. Further up in the thead goto post #3, it gives you some nice pix of what to expect. Between the pix and my instructions it should take you about 2 hrs max to do the job. Take your time and go slow and you should have no problem. Good luck Bro!
