Default Defeated.. Can't change passenger DRL

So my white LED 9005 bulbs came in... I changed out the passanger side easily nothing is blocking it. But the driver side has extra wiring running by the headlight and a black box filled with wires. Can't get to both screws.. Am I gonna have to remove the headlight just to change this bulb ?

Also the LED 9005 flashes/blink?

I honestly did it the hard way. I took off the whole bumper just to get to the lights. But i was also changing my fog lights to LED too.
As for the flickering i got this

I removed the windshield washer filler and gained enough room to replace the driver side without too much issue.

By the way, the title said "passenger" but the OP is having issue with the driver side (as indicated in his post).

I did that also. Still couldn't get to it. Maybe I need to find a smaller screwdriver

What kind of IS do you have?

I think you may be doing something wrong. You shouldn't need a screw driver. You just have to remove the moisture cap when you get behind the light and then you will be able to see the bulb.

I have a 06' 350. Yes I have to the remove the moisture cap but the moisture cap has two screws holding in a locking pin

I think i used the screwdriver tip adapter on a socket wrench to turn the screw. I also have the 2006, there is only one screw on each cap. You dont need to remove the screw completely; just back it out a little bit then slide the spring clip out (it is a pia to put the screw back on it you remove it completely).

you don't need a screw driver. the 2 screws you are seeing is just holding in the locking pin as you said. you just need to slide the locking pin off of the moisure cap. you don't need to unscrew it.
