Default Parking lights

How do I fix the clear plastic housing that covers the parking/turn signal lights on the front bumper on my 02 WS6? How do I take it out and replace it? How do get to it? It cracked and it looks like hell.

Open the hatch on the underside of the bumper with 10mm sockets, and unbolt the parking lights from the backside of them with 7mm wrench. To get it out you'll just have to move it around after unbolting it until you can pull it out the hatch on the bottom.

Well, I opened that little access door to the housing and I just dont have any room to work with to loosen the bolts to the housing. Any tricks on how to loosen those 2 bolts with so little room? Jack the front end up?

I take a couple of 2x10's and pull up on them and that allows me just enough room to get under there and see what I'm doing. Or you can jack the front end up.
