If you can't reach it from behind...

Then you'll need to take out the whole lense...

On the 97+... take off the little plastic part next to the lense and then remove the 2 10mm bolts holding in the lamp...

Remove lamp then you have access to the bulb...

BTW.. the 8mm on the back of the lense raises or lowers the beam of light... tighten to lower... loosen to raise..

To clean the new bulbs also. Use 90% or more isopropyl alchohol and a lint free cloth/towel to clean the bulbs. Do not touch the glass before you put them in. Check your foglamp housings for leaks of any kind and seal them up with epoxy before you put them back on.

One more thing, there is a teflon insulating sleeve over the positive lead wire of the H3 bulbs, don't leave this out when you re-assemble, it protects the wire from the extreme heat inside the housing when the bulb fires.
