I don't have a manual or anything, but I switched out the foglights on my I30 a while ago. It is kind of hard to do it when the car is flat, so if it is possibly to safely lift the front end somehow, whether it be by jacking it up or driving onto a ramp, I'd suggest that. I also needed a socket set because there is a piece of plastic underneath that protects the area, and it is held on by bolts I believe. Once you reach the area inside, taking out the old bulbs and putting in the new ones is pretty much like changing your headlights.

Someone feel free to correct me if I missed anything, I did this about 7 months ago so I may have forgotten.

nah you're right. it's a real pain if you don't have the car on a lift or jacked up.

Step:
1. Jack up the car.
2. Engage parking break
3. Unscrew the plastic undercarriage protector
4. Locate the foglight bulb
5. Undo the metal spring holding the bulb in place.
6. Disconnect the wires.
7. Put in new bulb
8. Connect wires.
9. Put the metal spring back in.
10. Screw the protector back in.
11. Disengage parking break.
12. Unjack car.

*EDIT* Be very careful not to apply excessive force to the plastic protector screws. I broke 3 of mine because they were practically rusted through. I would just recommend buying new screws and replacing the old ones while you are doing the swap.
