The manual took me as far as popping out the corner fog lens, exposing the two screws holding in larger portion of fog lense. After I unscrew those, is the entire lens supposed to come out. I don't want to force it and break something . Not sure if it's supposed to come out entirely or just enough to replace bulb

I was going to do a separate writeup, but since you asked....
remove the outer corner fake lens....pry out carefully from the BOTTOM with a thin flatblade... not the top.

looks like this right?

loosen top bolt

Image

loosen bottom bolt

Image

then there is a screw on the inside that sits in that white plastic clip..

get a long Phillips... work it loose... then you should be able to pull the whole lens forward and and out to the side away from the center of the car.

here's a shot of that weird bolt on the inner side of the foglight fixture...

Good luck... try some 55k 4300k HID's and tell me how they work out should look great on the backroads....

Thanks, that is an excellent guide. I actually figured it out and came back to post it. I followed the same procedure as your guide here but didn't notice that bolt. After having the lens assembly out I went in from behind :naughty: it to access the bulb. Took a while as I didn't realize the clamp that was kinda holding bulb in place. I was trying to man handle it till I realized what was up. Anyway, I knocked it out. I'm a conservative car man, I simply replaced with standard bulb. Thanks again for that guide though, extremely considerate. :dblthumb: Love this site!
