There were posts on how to do it a while ago. Search the forum and you will find them. From what I hear, it's a pain to remove them.

Give it A Try

Changin fog lights r a realll pain. Took me and a friend a couple trys before we got it to work. K lemme try to explain. Before u do so turn ur steerin wheel to one side (so u can later reach from the splash guards to push ur fog light unit out) first u hav to unsrecw the black plastic screws from under ur car, next unscrew the splash guards on the front tire, note u dont hav to take off either. From the splash guard reach and u should be able to see and feel the fog light unit. Reach in and unscrew a screw tats holds the fog unit in place. After tat u should be able to push the unit out. Try from both the bottom of the car and from the side, the unit is tightly secured with a plastic thingie. It should pop out from front, after tat jsut change the bulb as u would with the headlights. Then just do the reverse and it should be done.
-Good luck

Go to my site... click on CAI 2... can you see the little black nub under the fog light assembly? You'll have to undo that and push the whole assembly out (but that's after getting all the black rivet thingies out from under the fog area). Good luck!

That's right... you'll have to unscrew that black thing. Once that's done, just push outwards, HARD, and make sure you catch it.
