If you lift the hood.. and locate the front hood stops,( adjustable, silver in color with a black rubber stopper on top ) which are next to the headlights.. raise the headlight, remove the black plastic surround panel, and the hood stop.Removing the hood stop gives you a little extra room to get your arm down there. The fog light bracket is held in place with one 10 mm screw. the bracket has a centering locator clip on the top..
once the screw is removed, you can remove the bracket noting the locator tip on the top.. a quarter turn removes the bulb socket.

Do like Evil-Twin mentioned or go up from the bottom by taking off the lower panel on the front fascia. Easy to do if you have a floor jack, but going through the headlight area would be easier.

I changed mine to blue yesterday. It's tight but you can do it. You must take off the black HL bezels, only 3 phillips screws per side.
