I had to replace mine because someone backed into it. You could think it could be simple but.the lamp is attached to the headlamp so the headlamp needs to come out. do not worry, it is pretty easy.
1. remove the plastic shield going across the top of the radiator area for easy access. Has some push in retainers, maybe some 7mm headed bolts holding it in place.
2. remove the two bolts 10mm head holding the big plastic frame the headlight is attached to. Then lift the whole thing upwards and outwards. you may be able to most likely see where the sidelamp is held onto the headlamp frame with a push in retainer. On the other side of the sidelamp is a plastic guide which just goes into a hole to assist you guide it back in when you reinstall it. you may be able to most likely get to the bulb now or maybe you have to unplug the headlamp bulb to have better access. Like I said, you could think it could be easier but I has been surprised too, particularly since I'm a Chevy mechanic.

Not quite sure. But you may want to pick up a haynes fix manual. They have a complete tear down and rebuild of your car. Its excellent for instaling aftermarket parts, or just doing some maintenence. Cost about 30 bucks, but a worthwile investment because it assists to crack a lot of DIY problems.
