How to get to the fog light bulbs?

I am ordering some Hoen bulbs to match the HIDs and I am not sure where to access the fog light bulbs.

Any ideas?

crocrr is infamous around these parts
Tools needed:

1) Small Hands
2) Jack
3) Good command of foul language

Directions:

1) Jack up the front corner of the car
2) Look under the car and you will see a circular black cap with an electrical plug connected to it. Unplug this.
3) Unscrew the black cap.
4) There will be two wires connected to the black cap. These lead into the
actual bulb. Disconnect these wires. This may need some effort.
5) The bulb is is a metal housing that needs to be removed. Reach in and turn the whole housing and it should drop into your small hands
6) Next, replace the bulb. It is held in place by tension springs. Do not touch the bulb with your hands as the oil from your hands can cause hot spots on the bulb and cause it to fail prematurely. Clean it off with alcohol if you have to.
7) Reverse process above.

Good luck.

The fogs are H3s, right?
