Replacing halo (angel eye) bulb question

Is it necessary to take the wheel/inner fender liner off in order to check/replace the parking light/halo/angel eyes bulb? I have seen conflicting info on this. The manual says access is via the engine bay but it looks awfully tight in there, and others say to remove everything in the wheel well. Can I access the lamp through the little hatch in the well or is that just for the low beam light?

If you are just replacing the bulb for the angel eyes then you don't have to remove anything. Just have to take the cap off the back of the headlight and replace through there. It's a real pain in the ass though.

Every E92 I know went through the engine bay and all the E90's i've seen them take off their wheels and fender lining to install them.
