I don't think I ever changed one on my D8 but Haynes says (yeah, I know
) you should be able to get to them from under the bonnet...

i was unable last time to fully explain it, but i think a central wire goes to the headlight then runs through a track to the indicator, can remember if thats completley true but a possibility
