Default How to access front turn signal bulb?

I'm trying to access the turn signal bulb for the amber turn signal in front. There's a small bulb housing for the DRL and another big one for the turn signal I'm assuming.

I pulled the DRL bulb by using an inspection mirror and reaching from the top. I can get to the big housing but can't turn it. I tried squeezing the tab and turning but it wouldn't budge.

From the bottom, there's access panels down there.

Is that big gray connector it though? I would hate to get it from the bottom though. I already tried moving the panel to the side but I still couldn't see crap, plus that big gray connector is on top anyway, which would make it even harder to reach from the bottom

I personally take the headlight off. its easy to do, remove one bolt and sliiiiide. While your at it, junk the orange turning signal housing and put some clear ones on, they are like 35$ shipped from ebay. Silvia makes NICE amber bulbs in case you get the clear turning signal housing.

Nevermind guys, I'm retarded. I saw that the big gray connctor had a tab on it, so I pressed on it and twisted hard. Out came the bulb holder, burned up to all hell. Oh well, my signal works now so it's all good.
