Does anybody knows the easiest way for changing this bulb? Mi right fog light has been coming on and off randomly, so I guess its just a dirty connector, but before changing it, I suppose there is an easy way to do it.

I had the fun of replacing my left fog bulb last night. You access it from below the front bumper via an access panel that has 4 phillips screws. Once yoiu have that off you can see the light housing. The back cover comes off by releasing the bottom clip then bringing it up at a 90 degree angle to dis engage the upper clips. The bulb is held in place via 2 spring clips that snap to the back of the bulb. Once you have it freed from the light housing you need to pull the bulb from the wire connector. In my case the two had near fused together from the heat generated by the bulb. If you take needle nose pliers and a screwdriver you can eventually pry them apart. The replacement Halogen H1 55watt bulb costs 7 bucks at your local Checker Shucks Kragen.
