I take off the front bumper. It just makes it easier to get to everything. And at this point I can take mine off in 10 mins.

Some like to take out the fender lining and reaching up there.

10 min job- 1. Pop out the three plastic tabs on the bottom of the wheel well liner. 2. Stick hand inside.

+1 for going through the wheel well for corner marker. fogs can be done from up top without removing bumper as well. i believe those are the only ones u can change that way however

You could turn the wheel to the opposite side that you are working on, it should give you enough clearance, that's how I changed mine.
