Default Replacing fog light in 2007 Sante Fe Limited

I own a 2007 Sante Fe Limited. My husband and I can not figure out how to change the fog light. Can anyone tell us how to do that?
Thank you!

from http://www.hmaservice.com:

SANTAFE(CM) >2007 > G 2.7 DOHC > Body Electrical System > Lighting System > Front Fog Lamps > Repair procedures

REPLACEMENT
1.Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.
2.Remove the front side cover screw.
3.Remove the front fog lamp assembly (A) after loosening screws (4EA).

4.Installation is the reverse of removal.


If just replacing the bulb, I think you can just reach up underneath the front bumper, turn the bulb base CCW and then remove it from the fixture.

Yep, from underneath, turn bulb to unlock from lamp housing, install new bulb... DO NOT touch the glass of bulb with fingers !

My husband says that there is no way to access it. There seems to be a plastic shield behind the bumper.

When I replaced the fog light bulbs on my wifes 2006 Sedona minivan I could only access them from the top. You might have to do the same thing and remove the plastic cover over the radiator and grille area under the hood to access the sockets.
