You'll need to get under the front of your car, you'll see black clips that hold the under body plastic lining thats under your foglights.. pop 'em out, only those around the foglight areas..

then fold/pry them out of the way. Stick your hand through, and you'll touch the back of your fog lights.

You'll need to use a screw driver + cloth to remove the fog light bezel. There's a small slot at the bottom-center of your fog light bezel. Put a screw driver and cloth (to avoid scuffing/chipping your paint!) Pry it out.

Then use a #8 or #10 (I forget) ratchet with extension to remove the 2 bolts (bottom of foglight) that holds it to the car. Un-do 'em and pull your fog light out. Harness is about 6" long.. unclip it if needed.

Then you can remove them and replace the bulbs.

Takes 10mins each about.

You can also undo the clip for the fog cover from the back if you're worried about marring the paint on the front.

Front of the car. If you look along the bottom lip, youll see the small slot. Mine is right in the center.
