Default Parking, DRL and Turn Signals

Hey Folks, I'm a newbie to the C5 and I'm having a problem I'm trying to solve... I just bought a 50th Anniversary Coupe last Thursday. I washed her Saturday. After the wash the turn signals in the front, the DRL's and the parking lights didn't work. The fog lights do work. I've tried to reach the bulbs in the front thru the brake duct, thru the wheel well and under the hood with no success. The rear turn signals still work but flash very fast as if there is a burned out bulb. I moved the brake duct to the side but could not get my hand in far enough to reach the bulb... HELP Please...

There is an access panel in front of the tire with about 6 or 7 screws in it.Remove this and you have excellent access to the bulbs and wiring.

Thanks for the info! I got the lamps out now all I have to do is get her up in the air to replace the lamps... My jack is too high but I'll adapt!
Thanks!

If necessary, you can remove the headlight cover and go in through the top.
