Yet another broken fog light thread

Im gonna start things off by sayin sorry for posting another fog light replacement thread! I have read over 20 other threads about them, but I am just looking for some clarity.

How in the hell can people fit their hands through the wheel well in order to take the old fog light out? My driver side is the one that is broken, and tonight I decided to take my wheel off and see how much room there really is. I could hardly fit my hand back there, let alone have room to work... Any insight into this?

I changed bulbs in the fogs by going through the wheel well. Thought it would take me 20 minutes...took an hour and a half. I can't imagine changing a fog light that way.

Turn the wheel. Other than that, you may have to pop a couple of clips or pushpins. Upgrading my fog lights to HIDs took 2 hours and required a lift.

I have gotten in behind the wheel well, but there is hardly any room to put my arm, let alone tools.

The guys at the lighting shop just had to squeeze it in there. I honestly don't see another way to do it without removing the bumper.
