I have two bulbs to address on my 1999 E300 and I am not 100% certain on the replacement of the bulbs.

1. The driver’s front side marker light that is located on the side of the bumper is out. I opened the door on the front belly pan that is below the light. I thought that I could access it from there, however, I could not reach past the engine oil cooler. How do I access this bulb?

2. The light is out on the climate control unit. I have the keys and I pulled the unit. I removed the bulb from the bottom, but I am not sure of its construction. Is what I removed the bulb or is that a socket and bulb?

Can anyone shed any light on this?

(Yes, I know that I deserved to be flamed for the pun.)
