Default Front Turn Signal Bulb

This may be a simple question. Does anyone know how to get access to the left front turn signal bulb on a C5?

Thanks!

The shop manual calls for: jacking up that side of car, removing panel on bottom of car (about 4 or 5 screws), move brake cooling duct, reach up and twist out bulb holder, replace bulb. There is limited space, I find I have to use one hand to replace bulb.

Default Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I removed the bezel and did it from the top. FYI, the new Sylvania LL bulbs are a pain to fit in the socket. They need a little WD-40 to slide in and the fit is tight.
