Turn signal bulb replacement

Hello guys;
I feel like this is a dumb question but I just went out to the car expecting it to be easy to change out both sides of the "orange" colored turn signal bulb but nooooo.
The driver's side seemingly has the airbox in the way and the passenger side has the windshield washer fluid reservoir in the way.
Do I have to remove these to get access? From the outside, it looks like the bulb is set at an angle. Any help is much appreciated.

Yeah,

Dumb design.

YouTube has videos by username "Jerk of All Trades", removing air box (L side) or the box surrounding ECU (R side)...

This sounds dumb, but if you remove the bumper (5 min job, just be careful with Fog light connector and intensive washer, tricks on YT), then the HL assembly comes out after removing a few bolts. It is much easier this way.

By removing the windshield washer bottle filler neck I was able to get access the the RHS turn signal. I was able to remove the signal even with my big hands!

Now I ended up removing the headlights to replace all the minor bulbs so not sure how easy it is to get to the LHS one.
