99 I30 fog lights

Does anyone have any instruction on how to change the fog light bulbs on a 99 ? Do you have to take the whole light housing out? Do the corner light housings have to come out too?

You remove the far, corner, platic splash gaurd under the bumper, It 2 10mm bolts and one screw I believe. Then you can gain access to the rear of the housing. A small wire clamp holds the bulb in the housing. Some needle nosed plyers will work to release the clamp. Just squeese it together and it should release. It is a PITA, just work with it. The new bulb just plugs in and the clamp goes back and your done. The fog light bulbs are 55W H3 incase you needed to know.
