raise the headlamp door and remove the black bezel surround.
reach down and twist out the bulb from the housing.

If your arms will fit, go through the headlight area by taking the bezel off like mentioned above. Otherwise, take the access panel off under the front fascia and you have easy access to that area.

I am using the HID fogs from the Ebay guy that Jason mentioned. I don't think Piaa's is this bright and saved me half of the cost of Piaa's.

arms
as long as you don't have massive forarms. You can raise your head lights. You dont necessarily have to remove the head lamp bezzle. Unscrew the bumper buffers and reach in. YOu should be able to reach it. I'm 6ft and have pretty decent size forearms and was able to do it this way with only minor scrapes and scratches. just go in through the side and under the headlight. you only have to reach about 7 or 8 inches in.
good luck

Even more room if you need it!
Raise the headlights manually, remove the bezel (three phillips screws), remove the painted headlight cover (two side bolts, and two torx screws on back), then lower lower headlights flat manually. More than enough room, even the 'Fridge' could get his hands on the bulb connector/base. 15 minutes tops per light. Can even unbolt and remove the fogs from the top this way using a little creative twisting and turning. Real easy and roomy. No knuckle busting. Reassemble, lower and check out.

You can also remove the triangle piece under the Vette right below the fog light!
It has about 6 screws on it and will drop down easily, it will be right above the brake duct, you can move it too the side and replace as desired!
Thanks,Matt

I believe you could get to it through to front brake ducts as well?
Least i think i remeber reading that.
Thats how i replaced the side marker and turn signal the other day.
took about 2 minutes and no tools.
The brake duct just slid back and over out of the way .. and i could get enough arm in to disconnect and bring the plugs about 4 inchs out of the front of the hole...
Not sure if the fog light wires are long enough but it saved a ton of skin on my arm from top method headlights... and didnt require laying down to take the bottom off.
