I think you need to remove the whole lamp. Just remove the plastic on the side and take out the screws. Refer to manual for more detail.

Just pop off those two little black cover guys that are on the "closer to the center of the car" side of the front of the foglights. Then there's two 10mm bolts that you undo and the light will come out. Then jsut take the cover off the back of the light and put the new bulbs in.

One thing I recommend is to spray some liquid wrench on the bolts and let it sit before you try to remove them. I just broke both bolts on one side and in the process of trying to drill them out dinged my paint and destroyed the ****ing mounts = $40 for a new metal piece.
