No monkey business about removing part of the inner fender well, and the wheel too if you want room to see and work, then fishing around in that little hole to get to the lamp module as is the case with the C6.
It's a Corvette remember?? nothing will be easy on it except pumping the gas into it or going full throttle
On the older ones C-3 My 72 454 you have headlight benzels (not sure what they are really called but it goes around each pair of headlights and you have to remove those to get to the headlights well I do remember fumbling around some time to get those 2 buggers out in order to get the headlights out.

I have a C6 on order but it looks like I'll be buying an extended warranty.

GMPP extended warranty is a must on this car.

Or as a chemist would say, if you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the solute.
