thanks for the insight, so where did you access the sidelamp through the wheel well?

Once you remove the plastic fender liner in the front wheel well, the sidelight assembly can be easily reached and removed....

What you have photographed is called a "Side Marker Light"!
Turn you front Wheel to the Right and push your finger in through the Fender and the Wheel Liner until you hit the Side Markers latch and push it on toward the Front....It will Pop-out as you push it forward....Hopefully someone will send a Photo for you to use!

KRT,
This would be a great time to change the Lens from the old Amber to Clear Lens....Makes the Car look more modern.....
