Which lights are you talking about? The corner blinkers or low/high beam? If it's the corner blinkers, you most turn your steering wheel all the way to one side in order to have clearance to reach underneath the fender.

dont touch the actual glass housing on the bulb once you pull it out or while you're pulling it out

The coolant reservoirs pulls straight up off it's bracket and out of the way for the very purpose of replacing the passenger side headlight bulb.
