Replacing Fog Lamp Bulbs

I was reading the service book, it says that the front bumper needs to be remove. Is there an easier way?

Wow, the fogs are so easy to get to. If it's the headlights then yes def take off the bumper but not for fogs, I changed one the other day, took me 3 minutes...

For the driver's side you need to remove the intake or the stock air filter. This will give you access to the bulb. For the passenger's side, remove the fluid reservoir (there's 2 10mm bolts holding it in place). After that you'll need to remove the fill tube for the windshield washer fluid. You can do this by twisting it counter clockwise. After that you will have access to the bulbs...
