Default Passenger front directional

Does anyone know how to change out the bulb on the front bumper? not the directional? I read that you need to unscrew it from underneath counterclockwise but that isn't working

option 1- remove the 2, 10mm bolts on the access flap underneath the car. Stick hand up, turn socket, pull from housing, change bulb

option 2- pop headlights. remove headlight bezel (3 phillips head screws). Stick hand in, turn socket, pull bulb from housing, change bulb.

option 3- stick hand in vent/opening just below directional, follow wires up, and twist to remove socket. very difficult with big hands but it works for me and it doesn't require any tools.

you only have to turn it like 1/4 turn then it pulls out. the original post confused me because it said "not the directional?" haha.

Ok thank you. I tried option 3 but it won't turn at all. I have to get my hands on some tools to try the other options
