Default Replacing DRL Help

Anyone know I can replace the drivers side DRL on a 06 C6. I removed the steering fluid res but still cant get my hand in enough to turn the bulb. Any ideas??

I did mine by standing next to the front wheel you will be able to reach and turn the bulb with your LEFT HAND - it was tricky but got the job done, Goodluck!
