It's also held in the bumper with two pins that go into 2 plastic grommets. Grab a hand on the back of the fog lamp and push FORWARD (towards the front of the car) and they should pop right out. Also, another easy way is to remove your headlights and then you can stick your hand down behind the bumper and grab a hand on the fogs (if you would ever happen to go this route).

It's only 2 bolts on the fog lights, like mixxmax said after the bolts are off just push the fogs foward.

Here is a pic when I took out mine out.

I got it, thanks guys. For some reason it just would not budge, even had to hit it with a hammer. Thank God the drivers side just popped out.
