replace pass fog light oem PITA??

got to take to porsche out today ,altough I shouldnt of.. I figured it would be ok since to sweepers have been out here in anchorage.. ended up with a small hole in my pass fog light so I need to replace it .. I think I've found one on ebay for 200.00 .. Is there a diy on changing out the fog light ,am wondering how to access the fog light.. im hoping its not from the bottom and if thats the case I guess Ill have my mechanic do it.. If thier is anyway I can do it,I would like to .. thanks for any input and if this is a repost ,I apologize as I tried searching but maybe was looking in the wrong area..

bulb replacement is from bottom so yes, either from under or may even require bumper removal.

Bumper doesn't need to come off, but you do need some tiny hands to do the swap easily. Car needs to go on ramps or jackstands to get under the car.

$200? What exactly are you replacing? The bulb is easy, I just had to do it, unplug it, spin maybe 1/2turn, pull down. But if the lense it broke, then a bumper removal is imminent.
