Reach in there and twist counterclockwise I believe. then just pull.

If you're trying to pull the whole foglight assembly out it's a lot more difficult than just twist and pull. You have to get at them from the backside under the car. There is a press-clip thingy on the inside of the hole it is mounted in. You have to remove the foglight from the back of the housing with the twist and pull method and remove the assembly from the front.

Here are a couple of pictures that should help.This first one is a head on shot. Notice the two red arrows point to the sockets which hold onto the fog lamp assembly. The arrow on the left points to a simple slot, a part of the lamp housing just slides into the slot.The arrow on the right points to a retaining clip. Part of the lamp housing pushes into and pops the clip. You need to reach in from the other side to pull this clip and release the lamp assembly.

Here's the second photo. I took this one by laying on my belly and sticking my neck under the center of the front bumper and looking towards my front passenger tire.Its dark in this photo, but what you see is a black circle and a something rectangular to the left of the black circle. The black circle is a part of the new fog lamp assembly I just replaced. To the left is a rectangular clip/tab. You want to reach in and use a finger to pull that tab towards you, use another finger to push the fog lamp assembly towards the the front of the vehicle. What you'll hear next is your old fog lamp crashing on the concrete floor as it zips out of the retaining clip. To avoid this, have something soft placed there to catch it as it falls -- like your other hand, or somebody else's hand.

you need a 10 mm ratchet or wrench, a small pocket screw driver and a flash light.take the 2 bolts out of the sheild under the bumper to have easy access. shine the flashlight at the rear and you will see 1 round peices on each side stick the screwdriver behind the tab holding it and pull the screwdriver away from the fog lamp housing and with your other hand push on the back of the fog lamp housing once you have them both loose take and push with the screw driver on each side of the adjusting screw at the bottom of the housing to get it loose the fog lamp will then come out the front of the bumper holehttp://forums.genvibe.com/zero...6.jpg vibe fog light removal =>http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=23709
