RE: Fog lights
I think the way I did mine was to remove the foglight from the fascia. They're held on by a couple of nuts. Then you should be able to unplug and replace the bulb. Now that I'm thinking about it I believe I actually swapped bulbs without taking the foglights out. I remember scratching my hands all up because there is little to no room there. I did remove my foglights because I put yellow film on them....

RE: Fog lights
I'm taking a break from it right now. I picked up the light for $15 and have been trying to get the old one out for the last hour. My right wrist is chewed up and sore and all I managed to do was unplug the old one and give it a twist.
I started by taking out the screw on a box under that section. This allows you to slide the box thing itself over about a quarter inch. That little bit of extra room helps. Then I had to contort my hand to get it up in there and even at best I was only able to get two and a half fingers on the end.
I managed to get a pair of pliers in there to help me twist it but I haven't found the spot yet that allows it to unlock and pull out the light.
Two things: You'll need small to medium sized wrists to do it this way, and secondly- don't touch the light itself as the natural oils from your skin will cause the light to burn out. We'll see if I can manage to get the new one in without touching the glass part. Of course only if I can get the old one out. Yay.

There is a nut on each side of the lamp at the back, so it would actually be harder to take those off as opposed to popping the plug and then trying to turn the bulb to get it out. I managed to get it done that way.
It isn't a common sized bulb and I had to go to an auto parts store to get it. The price after tax was $14.85. The fog lights are factory on the sport package.
