    I need to replace a burnt out bulb. Is the easiest way to go in through the front wheel wells by removing the plastic trim piece in the front? Or is there something more obvious that I am missing?

    I think the easiest in top from engine bay down to the fog, no need to remove anything

    I reach up from underneath just in front of the wheel well, no need to remove anything.

    Thank you, that was most helpful. Not going to lie, that damn clip had me stumped. Mine was actually backwards from the one in the video. Instead of pulling up at the top I had to squeeze mine in at the bottom to get it over that little tab.

    I changed my bulbs recently. I just went from underneath and it too me all of about six minutes to change both of them.
