How does one get to the two front side marker lights to replace the bulbs please? Difficult to reach from the top. TIA

From inside the wheel well liner.

DO NOT PRY ON THE OUTSIDE. Our paint is way too soft for that. Remove 4 or 5 of the clips/bolts in the wheel liner, stick your hand in there, push inwards toward the bumper and out on the side closest to the wheel well where the clip is and it'll pop out nicely.

Thank you I will try that way
Definitely won’t pry from outside

Watch the video on how to remove them. The first one I saw showed the pry method and it will at least give you a sense of how they come out so you are not just feeling around blindly behind them. Make sure to turn your wheels too. My big head wouldn't fit to see in there even with the wheels turned. And I wore gloves because that clip is not so forgiving.

Again, don't pry on them like they do in the video.

I did and no problem but I used a plastic pry tool and was careful. Worked just fine.

Put some low tac blue painter’s tape on the edge before using a plastic pry tool for added paint safety

If you have 2 plastic pry tools that’s the best way to go, one to push and the other to lift. Your paint will be fine.

Used a plastic pry tool like the video showed.
Worked great.

I guess I could have ripped out the wheel liner like a Neanderthal instead.

Nah, pry tool works.

I wish I'd seen this thread before I saw the video, because I just cracked the plastic lens on the damn assembly on my 2025. Gotta use those ford points for something, I guess...
