What year is the car? If it's a 02-03 then check out the how-to sticky for housecor's write up.

1. Take off the screws and pop-tabs that are holding up the splash guard in close proximity to the foglight. Move the splash guard so you can see the housing of the foglight.
2. Once underneath, unscrew the bolt (10mm, I believe) that is under the foglight housing.
3. Detach the wire connector to the foglight with the help of a small to medium size flathead.
4. With one hand on the front of and one on the back of the housing push and pull it out of the hole. There are two prongs on the housing that need some nudging out from the back of the housing on the top.
5. Once out, just open it up and change the bulb.

If you need any more help, PM me.
