Quick question...please help!!!

My side marker light (on the drivers side) burned out. No big deal, but how in the hell do you get to the socket so I can replace the bulb. I can see that it is underneath the headlight but I just cant seem to find out how to get inside there. What do I have to take off or remove to get there? PLEASE HELP!!!

With the EVAP canister, battery, and horns in the way, reaching the lamps from inside the engine compartment is very difficult, if not impossible. You can remove the screws from the lower baffle from the ground effects, swing the baffle outward and out of the way, and access the lamps easily. Plan on spending a few extra minutes cleaning up the accumulated junk from the baffles and lower radiator support before you reinstall the baffles. You could also remove the horns, relays, etcetera, but dropping the baffles is a bit easier.
