Front bumper light with blinker next to other light?

On the front of my bumper is the orange blinker with the clear light under the round lens. My clear light is burned out and I need to change it, but I'm not sure how. Someone told me to remove the bumper for the fog light which is located under the bumper also. Is this the same for this light?

Doubtful. Though I'm not certain, I did change my amber turn signals to silver ones without the hassle of removing the bumper. Just reached around from under the hood, removed the harness and replaced the bulb. 2 minutes tops. I'm guessing the clear light wouldn't be any different. FWIW - I think that cluster of lights are referred to as the "Parking Lights'.

yeah, there is. Each one twists off from the back. The blinker one has the nice finger handles, but the other one doesn't, so it is just a lil harder.

I took mine to the dealer to have them do it. It's covered under warranty. I was out within an hour and they had to remove the bumper to replace the bulb.
