Directly below the light, under the bumper cover, is a black triangular piece of plastic. Remove the 3 screws with the proper sized torx bit. This will give you access to the lamp wiring. Turn the light housing counter clockwise about a quarter inch and remove. Lamp can then be replaced. After doing so, rub the lamp with a alcohol wipe to remove any oils left from your finger, as not doing so will severely shorten the life of the lamp by creating a hot spot. Installation is the reverse of removal.
