Turn the steering wheel so you can get access to the fender lining, take a few of the plastic tabs off with a flat head. Pull the fender lining back a bit and you can see the back of the fog light and get to it from there. Did this to change the fogs to HID 3k's a while back.

^^ this. You can just peel the lower outside corner back on either side and pop the bulb out and replace. I didnt do HIDs though, just quality yellow halogens. Not a time consuming swap. Maybe 15 mins per side.

tools needed :

flat head

10mm socket


take out the bolt on the bottom of the front bumper that holds in the front liner.

then take out three plastic clips that hold in fender liner on the front bumper.


takes about 5 mins each side after turning the wheel each way to make enough room. very easy

The low beam, I went on google first and got a video on YouTube how to do it. Try to do that for the fog light but, not really helpful.
