IDK...I found it kind of a PITA to get to the fog lights when I changed them out to LED. Much harder than everyone made it out to be for me.

I first tried to jack it up and come from underneath the car w/o removing the bumper or anything. I got them off but trying ot put the new ones in sucked. I had a hard time getting my arm up to them especially on the drivers side because the windshield wiper fluid bottle was in the way. There isn't enough slack in the wiring for it to hang down where you can easily plug it in.

My suggestion would be to remove the fog light housing. Even that's not necessarily easy. There are like 5 arrow head looking pieces of plastic that hold the black outter fog light ring behind the bumper. You'll have to squeeze in on the arrow head and kinda push it forward. Three of them are no big deal to get to because you can see them....the other two which are on the top and closest to the fender are harder because you have to do it by feel or mirror or something. Once you have the outer ring off the actually fog light is held in by 3 pieces of push in/out plastic that are easy enough.

Trust me...if you're changing the fog lights, take the time to get the fog light assembly out. Once it's out changing the bulb is easy. If not....you'll be fighting trying to line up the fog light clips that hold it into place.
