There are is a screw underneath the fog, inside the front valance. Check that out, once unscrewd you should be able to get the bulb. it's not done from the front of the fog.

i have never done it myself but i think you need to get under the car, and unscrew part 3 and remove part 2 to get to the bulb. :roll:
