It's weird but you have to change the bulb from under the car. If you look right under the bumper near the front air dam there are 3 bolts on a little flap under the light assembly called the access door. Take those bolts out and the door opens then you can reach in there to pull the bult out and replace it.

Which vehicle is it? They're both different. And don't do the camaro headlight removal to change the fog light bulb. That is like taking off your oil pan to drain your oil. Just get to it from the bottom. 2 screws to the flap on each side and just reach in and twist them out of the socket. It takes a total of 5 minutes to to them both.

The above was for a camaro. I'm not sure on the difference for a trans am. Shouldn't be much different.
