under the car remove the black plastic cover to expose the bolt that holds the Fog in place. Remove the bolt 10mm , push the fog light from the inside bumper to get it out of the fog hole. Remove the wiring be careful not to break the harness. Twist the back of the Fog assembly to expose the Bulb. Uncrew just a bit the screw that holds the buld in the housing, take the bulb out. Do the same in reverse to put it back... I know there is write up in the HOW to section.... but hope this helps.....

YOu need to open up the underside plastic panels at the front (2 screws, 3 push-pin thingies) to access the back of the fog light. There is a screw on the back bottom of the fog assembly...unscrew this. Once done, essentially it takes some physical force to pop the assembly out the front...helps to wiggle it back and forth. It's very frustrating the first time, but easy after that!

Good luck.

Done, Thank you all for the help, I used the directions you gave me and it made it easier, I know there are other places on this site that answer my question however some of them are incorrect or the link to webpages showing foglight removal is dead. But I made it work with your help Thanks again!
