Default Replace blinker bulb

The front left blinker/daytime running light went out and I need help on replacing it. I tried to reach in from the hole underneath the light and unscrew the two screws but they would only come out so far and wouldn't pull out. I know you can just you pop the bulb itself out of the casing but I'm not sure how to do it. Does anyone know the easiest way to change out this bulb?

I thought you could twist the bulb fixture about a half turn and pull it straight out just like in your brake light bulbs. I don't have DRL's so I could be wrong.

go up through the hole in the undercarrage and twist the bulb assemble about half turn. the assembly comes up out of the top of the light. pull bulb out and replace. there is no need to remove the whole turn signal. you will have to do this mostly by feel cause you cant see very good from beneath the car.
