Replace front bumper turn signal/park light?

Searched, can't seem to find a how-to. Looks like the front bumper cover needs to come off from a quick inspection...is this correct? If so, how do I do that?

The lens itself is cracked, not the bulb, hence my question - I've already done bulbs, though it's a contortionist act it's fairly simple.

Thanks!

simple job... i do it every spring to put the splitter back on, easier if the car is on stands, but can be done without jacking up the car

two torx T30s i believe, on the two sides above the bumper near the turn signals

two 8mm inside the wheelwell, if you didn't jack the car up, turn the wheel to one side all the way so you can get in there

then i think there's a mixture of 8mm and philips under the car just ahead of the little apron thing, do not take the ones closer to the front, take the ones nearer to the apron, the ones in the front hold the apron to the bumper, the rear ones hold the entire bumper to the body, the bumper should come free

remember to disconnect the reflectors, turn signals, and parking lights plugs, it might take a slight tug around the wheel arch but it should come free pretty easily once all the screws are off

then its just a matter of taking the two philips out to remove the housing
