there is an access panel underneath by the turn signals. Jack it up and you can remove the panel to replace the bulb. You'll have to push the cooling duct aside. Should take you ten minutes.

7mm wrench, and/or nut-driver (on a cordless works nice!) and a flash light are all you need.

You got all 3 options there.I have Z06 screens so the one that works for me is:
Turn on the headlights and back off one position to kill the lights.
Unscrew the 3 small screws on the black plastic housing around the headlight. Gently pull the housing clear. Reach down around the headlight unit and release the bulb holder. It unscrews counter clockwise but it has a plastic clip which you need to squeeze to release it. Change the bulb. Reseat the bulb holder and turn until it clicks back in place. Put the plastic housing back in place making sure to locate the small plastic tab in the bracket on the headlamp cover. Replace the 3 screws and close the lights.
10 minute job.

I pop off the head light bezel, then take off the hood stop bumper. (makes getting in there with large arms/hands easier.)
then just reach down, twist and pull.
you gotta be sure the bulb is fully seated though, or it will pop out on the light.

My car finially made it to the body shop on saturday. I waited almost 5 months to get a opening in this shop. They have to pull the nose off the car to back tape, so I told them to replace the DRL and binker bulbs while they were in there.
