Two ways:

The quickest but space is at a premium is to push down on the front brake air duct, the bulb will be just above and to the center of the vehicle. Big problem with this approach is getting your hand and wrist stuck in the opening. It goes in, but backing your arm out isn't pretty.

I recommend the following: Open hood, raise headlamps, look down between the inner side of the headlight housing and the frame rail, you'll see the fog lamps. I recommend removing the threaded hood support screw (its the threaded screw with the black nylon top that supports the hood in the front). Just make sure you mark it before removal, so you know exactly where to screw it back down. If you remove those two support posts, its a clean shot down to the connector and bulb.
