You need to get under the front of the car, pop the body clips under the front bumper, pull the flexible part of the bumper down, and there will be a bracket holding each foglight. Two bolts secure the foglight and of course...one wire clip. Remove the bolts and disconnect the wire connector. Then simply pull them out. One word of advice though, make sure you wear a set of goggles or turn ur head while down there working because a lot of dirt/debris is caught and I've gotten hit in the face with this stuff lol. I've done this about 4 times to replace lamps and such and its pretty straightforward when you see it.

Good luck

-Brian

Plastic clips hold them to the braket horizontal and the adjusting screw holds it vertically. I've taken the push-in clips out with needle nose before. I've done it the way listed above, too. Definitely easier to put them back on the way listed above.

My friend just bought a set from autozone for $40. They're really clean looking, and go perfectly with clear corners, and they have a 7 color LED in the lights, to give accent. They're nice and bright, and I wired them up for him. The only problem was mounting them, we sort of rigged it up for now, so they're not lined up perfectly, but when the weather cools down we'll try again.

I just replaced stockies on mine two weeks ago, I bought a set from Advance, made by pilot and have the blue lenses, they were about $40 also, I used the stock brackets with a little modification and they look and light great, I'll try to get some pictures, I wired mine on the stock wiring, protected by stock fuse working with stock relay.
