Its very simple jeff and there are mainly two different ways to change them.

1. Simply get on your back and crawl underneath your front bumper. From there you will be able to reach the wire harness that plugs into the fog bulb, just twist and pull. Stock fog is out, put the new one in ( do not touch the new glass of the new bulb), push in, twist, plug harness...Done!

2. Open your hood, and try to reach it from the top. From this angle it will be harder to reach the harness but can also be accomplised. Personally, I think the "get on your back and crawl" technice is much easier...its your choice.

Hope this helps...

you could also turn your wheel to the left or right (which ever side your working on turn the wheel in the opposite direction) and take the screw of for the spash guard then pull the plastic out just enough to get your hand in and twist bulb out and replace

i find this may help if your car is lowered and or you have a kit

Be forewarned, either method is a pain in the butt. I am 6'0" and it was about 1" too far from where I could reach no matter what angle of apporach I took.

I’m 5’8 and pretty thinly built, so hopefully these wont be a pain for me. My box IS lowered, so I’ll be sure and turn the wheel and give that a shot. Do the foggers remove the same way as the headlights? (the rubber cap, the spring holding in the light, etc)?

Thanks again sam, and people I don’t know.
