I think that you have to remove the bulbs from behind...

I'd hate to see how you change your windshield wipers.

What you need to do is if you can fit your hand/arm in through the lower air dam part of the bumper opening adjacent to the fog light and reach in there and there should be a little plastic clip you can pinch and it'll pop the fog light right out...just repeat for the other side....
If you want I can post pics this weekend...
I would like to see pictures. I was thinking of buying the PCCIA replacement bulbs but until I see how to change them I will leave good enough alone!

Kuan48,

Do you live near Chirchill Secondary School, near Cambie/49th??? Just wondering....So far that's the only place I have seen a Anthracite Grey(about 1 1/2 weeks ago).

I just pushed it out from behind. If you are having continuing problems, you might want to let the dealer do it.

Remove the bumper pad? You don't pull the axles to rotate the tires do you?

You don't have to take off the whole lower part of the bumber. All you have to do is find which opening is more comfortable to you, bottom or from the front and stick your hand in till were you can reach the back of the lights. Just give it a jerk to the right and left making sure that you have your other hand in front of the lights because they will pop out and hit the ground. That is all you have to do..thats how i did mine.
