Default DRL Replacement

I just picked up a 2000 C5, so far I really love it. Real clean 1 owner car. My only problem is, one of my DRL are out. I can't figure out how to replace that bulb. It looks like I may have to go into it from the wheel well??? Can anybody help?? Thanks

On my 2003 coupe, I found the bulb holder to beinstalled vertically, bulb on top of connector. The connector itself has to be squeezed to drop the connector with the bulb in it downward. My c5 can be reached with the headlight open.
Make sure the headlight cannot close while one's arm is getting the connector
loose. My connector doesn't have a very long pigtail so it took both hands to remove and install the new bulb........ good luck....... cjs

It worked great. I actually had to use alittle of both your ideas. I got it out from the top, then release the wire and socket throught the caliper vent hole. It worked great thanks again....
