I'm assuming TA's are the same a Camaros as in there is an access panel underneath the front end for each foglight. I believe it's a single bolt that holds it on. Take it out, the door swings down, easy access. TA guys chime in here if it's the same set-up.

Alright boys and girl now that I look at op's name 
, lube them arms up. Hopefully you guys dont weight lift like I do, cause Im screwed. I honestly greased my arm up. Look by where the headlights are, to the left of the driver side and to the right of the pass. side. flip the lights so they come up, turn the lights on all the way so they pop up then just turn the park lights on so the headlights turn out and make sure you flip the fogs off. You are going to have to reach down where you can see where the fog lights are and turn the bulb bracket like you are unscrewing a light bulb. It twists off. once you remove the bulb you put the new one down there and twist it back in. Make sure you dont bump the new bulb too much or your going to have to replace it again. My arms were cut up a little after doing this. Yes some blood. THey were red and scratch mostly for a few days. ITs tight but you can do it. Once you do it your a pro. Ive dont 4 differnt ta's now, everyone asks me to do it since i got it down to a science. Good luck

All of you guys have it easier than I do... Since I relocated mine, I have to take off my front bumper to replace a bulb or do any work on them.. It sucks, hopefully the HIDs I just installed wont go out anytime soon.
