Headlight --> remove the lamp housing to table top, easier to see what you working on.. 6-24 of owner manual


Fog light bulb --> go in from underneath,, not done 1 in a while, but unfasten plastic panel I think enough to see the back of lamp, reach in and replace bulb.

Danke, OK I did this today. There is a mud panel in each front wheel well that is held in by about 6 screws. Undo the two front ones and you can push the mud cover out of the way enough to reach in, watch out for the sharp edges on the bumper. Unclip the wire connector from the bulb and pull the wire connector off. Turn the light bulb counter clockwise and pull the bulb out. Put the new one in in the reverse order. You can't pull the bulb out until you unclip the wires because there is a post in the way to keep the bulb from turning and coming out accidentally. Once I figured it out, it only took about 15 minutes to do it. Seems like it could be put in the owner's manual.
