If you remove the lower plastic on the bottom of the bumper you should be able to get right at it

or just take out the headlights and the headlight brackets. Then the bulbs just twist out of the socket.

depends on how fast you can take out the headlights. I can do it in about 3 minutes, so I do it that way. If you wanna cram under the front bumper and remove those screws by all means do it. I think taking out the headlights is easier, but I've done it so many times I'm a pro at it by now.

i use the headlight cause that way you don't have to jack the car up or put it on ramps to crawl under. don't have to keep track of all those tiny ass bolts. you can do it standing up. and its faster

u dont need to remove the headlight bracket, just the headlight. there's plenty of room to get ur hand down there to the fogs.

Yeah, I have a small spot where I hit the bumper with the headlight putting it back in. At least it's not noticeable though I guess, haha
