Default Front side marker bulb replacement

Ive searched and havent found anything. Anyway my passenger front side marker bulb is out (the little small clear one). How on earth do i get in there to replace this? I didnt see anyway to remove the headlight housing...i did see two small phillips head screws that looked like they may help remove the headlight, but there is no way that i could remove them unless i have a screwdriver that is only a half inch long or something.

No its a small bulb in the headlight housing on the side that comes on when you turn your headlights to the first stop (parking lights).

Remove the front wheel after putting the car up on jackstands. Use a phillips head and flat blade screwdrivers to remove the black plastic inner fender liner that is towards the front. This will give you access to the back of the headlight. The parking light bulb is just below the main headlight and turn it counterlockwise a 1/4 turn to release it. REmove the harness and clip and replace the bulb. Use reverse steps to finish the job up.

Thanks for the info! Wow, this car never ceases to amaze me. Jack it up and remove a freaking wheel to change out a bulb. Unreal.

Nissan designers maximized all the space in the car. It's not really too surprising that you'd have reach the back of the headlight through the wheelwell.

Treu-this car doesnt have much room. But i still would have thought i could get to it under the hood behind the headlight housing or something.
