for those who swapped fog lamps

My passenger side bulb burned out, and I just wanted to know what the easiest way to access the bulb is?

From the bottom. There are pictures and instructions in the owner's manual. Look for "driving lights", "driving lamps" or "road lamps" in the index (I can't remember off-hand which one).

It's Easy..all you have to do is fit your hand between the two plastic fittings underneath the front end behind fog lights...slide your hand between the two plastic parts where they meet and all you have to do is rotate it 1/4 to the left and the bulb will come out..

Or, you can take the entire housing out by removing a single screw from the front through the grill opening.

See pictures w/instructions here:Road Lamps

Speaking of fog lights:
I got my Polarqs today, tried to install them myself and what a pain in the ass that turned out to be. Here is what I tried:
I pulled the car into my garage, layed down underneath and was able to take out the two front clips as per instructions in the manual. I could not reach the one that is further in, so I got frustrated and drove to a shop to put it onto a lift. However, the shop was already closed. WTF. Anyway, is this what I need to do i.e. take it to a shop onto a lift or is there an easier way. I read you can put your hand through the housing but I am unclear how you can do that. All help will be great.

You should not have any problems reaching the two pins on each side. No lift necessary....

My passenger side bulb burned out and my car is only 3 months old. These must be some really cheapo bulbs they are using. Anyway you can just reach your hand up in there without removing anything it took me about 3 minutes to replace my bulbs with polarg m-6's
