look under your bumper, you'll see a little square hole. Take a ratchet with an extension and use a 10mm socket and remove the bolt holding the foglight housing in. Once the bolt is out, you might have to wiggle the housing a bit as it might be kinda stuck. i guess you can try taking out the bulb and trying to shake the pieces out of the hole. good luck
