Fog light install question?

Just purchased some optilux 1182. Going to install them this weekend. Question is, what is the easiest way to get to the fog light holes? I noticed when i installed my projector headlights i could get to the fog light holes or would going through the bottom be easier?

See if this helps, its a nice write-up:

That's similar to what I did when I replaced my bulbs...

i really dont think you can get to them above with the headlights in. maybe with them out, but i literally just laid on the ground next to the car, and that was it. 5 minutes on the first side, 2 on the second. its really easy.

Yeah go in from the bottom. It is really easy. Actually the hardest part of it all is when you have the fog light assembly in you hands you have to remove the wires to disconnect the bulb. You have to pull on it hard but naturally you think it will break. Let me find a great write up for it and I will post it in a second.
