Remove the access panel under the front, or crank the headlight up and reach down, or push the brake duct aside and reach in. If you have big hands or arms the access panel is best.

My hands are too big for the brake duct, also tried the head light,
hands did not fit so at noon ran to my chevrolet dealer with
bulds from advance auto parts and for $50 they changed both of them.
In and out in 45 minutes with no appointment, it was worth it. Thanks
for the info anyway
