Default How do I replace led DRL on my IS350?

My passenger LED DRL is not functioning and I ordered replacement. I searched this forum already but didn't see anything about replacing these lights. I am sure I can muddle through and figure out how to get to the light but figured I would ask to see if there are any tutorials out there already. I am trying to figure out if I go through the top or up from the bottom mainly. I have already taken the plastic panel that covers the core support off and it looks like you can get to the light through the top but figured I would ask before taking it further apart only to find out I am wrong lol. Thanks in advance for your help.

I think you might have to take the bumper off. I think there was a F Sport bumper retrofit done by another member a while back, where they took their DRLs off the old bumper and installed it onto their new one.
The connectors for the lights are accessible through the wheel well if you peel back the liner, but it's easier to take the bumper off.

Wow... That's a lot of work for a DRL! I will start pulling all the liners off tonight and see of I can somehow get to it without removing the whole bumper. Fingers crossed!

That might be a more troublesome and frustrating than just taking the bumper off.
Here's the thread I was referring to:
