Drop the Engine Under Cover and you access it from underneath and from the back side. The bulb just has a half twist and pulls straight out.

It is a 9006 bulb.

There are two ways to get there.

1. Elevate the front end and take off the entire underbelly splash guard from the side you want to get at. This means alot of screws and push/pop fasteners.

Then it is pretty self explanatory.

or

2. Turn the steering wheel totally to the fog light opposite of the one you want to get at. This will move the wheel so you can get at the fog light from the wheel well. You will need to remove the 4 10mm bolts from the 9 inch air deflector under the car just in front of the wheel. Then remove several of the 10mm bolts from inside the well well just behind the fog light. There are two large plastic fasterner that have to be removed as well. Turn with a large flathead screwdriver then pop them out. Once that is done, you pry the plastic wheel well liner away from the fender (don't worry, it is not attached or glued). Pry is back enough to get your hand in. The fog light is less than arm's length in. Reach in.

Grab the bulb and twist then gently. When the bulb is loose, pull it out of the housing. Then lead the bulb in the connector back to the opening where your arm is reaching in. You can then see the connector and the safety clip that must be pressed while pulling gently on the bulb housing to get it out of the connector. Insert the new bulb, then put the bulb back in the housing and twist again. Make sure the bulb is oriented so that when you twist the bulb to secure it in the housing, the connector is angled straight down. This helps keep water out of the connection.

Good luck, it is alot more easier than it sounds.

Thanks Steviej, I used scenerio number two and it worked out great for me. Turned out the fog light connector had come unplugged so all I had to do was plug the connector back in and it worked like a charm with the existing bulb.
