I won't tell you to STFF, but this is all the instructions I will give you. Remove the pins under the front bumper, pull out the black plastic piece under the fog lights and reach in.

If you get a kit that works with the bulb out feature, you will just need bulbs and balasts, otherwise you will need resistors too.
