One of 2 ways. You can either remove the headlight door and go in straight from the top or you can go from the bottom by removing the plastic covers. I did mine the 2nd way. Jack up the front the car until you have a reasonable amount of clearence under the nose. Directly up below the corner light you will see plastic panels on the outward edge of the nose. Remove enough screws until you can pull the panel back and look up to see the corner light. There are 2 small screws and a spring holding it in. Remove light and reverse procedure. Very easy job.
