How to replace lower running lights GS450h

Need some help on what all I need to remove to get to the rear of the lower running lights (about 2" tall by 5" wide). Autozone had some LED ones, hope they look nice, and work!
Almost looks like the whole wheel well would need taken off?!
TIA

Yeah sounds like it would be the fog lights. Bottom right light in this pic

The autozone lights look similar to headlight bulbs. It was the same letter/number combination as the other, cheaper options so hoping it will fit.
Remove the wheel well plastic it is then, one of mine is burnt out so need to change em out anyway.

Finally did get these replaced with some LED ones - they look GREAT. I don't use the "auto" on my lights now as then the fogs don't run so I keep it ON so I have headlights and fogs running all the time.
Would love to get small LEDs under the headlight like some of the 4th gen have (and audi's etc), anyone know any mods yet?
