just take out the screw that holds in the foglight cover, then check out the 4 "special" screws that hold the glass on the bulb. Its a six sided thing, with a post in the middle, i had to order a special tool, but once i got it it was a very simple process.

You need a tamper proof torx. You can get them at sears or most car stores. Make sure its a tamperproof torx. Leslie, the company that makes all the tools in the red and white packages(most car stores like pepboys sell them) make a whole set, which is what i got, for like $20.

read the owners manual, actually pretty good description. Watch you don't strip the screws though, otherwise you'll have to back it out with vice grips. Good luck.

edit:
like the owners manual says, you have to take the whole fog assembly out. It's much easier to replace the bulb that way anyway..

I stripped the screws, they were too weathered. I just replaced them all with some from the hardware store. No big deal!
