it's all about technique. Once you've done it, doing subsequent ones is a piece of cake.

Put on a set of Mechanics gloves! Sure helps with keeping your hands from getting banged up. Take a good look at the pictures. It really is a total PITA but I promise the fog lights will come out!
The other alternative is to remove the front bumper cover. It's actually pretty easy!! |

I had the same trouble but luckily I went online and found all your suggestions through xoutpost.com. Thanks. It was a little difficult but I got it out a lot quicker than if I had not looked you up.

neither of the bulbs have gone , I think when I removed the front bumper I got moisture in them both, so they could do with being removed,
and theres no way im taking the bumper off again
