it isnt hard to do.....just take off all the cips on the bottom that cover the front end of the car. then go in and disconnect the harness from the fog light. with a flash light look inside, you will see two stubs, the size of a writing pen head. you will need to push those toward the front of the car, while holding the front to make sure they dont fly out with all the pressure you applying. if you want you can use a flat head screw driver to widen the white plastic stub a bit to make it easier to take out the housing, also to push out , it kinda hurts if you use your finger. after that it is easy just take out the old one, drop the new one in and your all done.
