Replacing Fog Light Bulbs

Need help in replacing the fog light bulbs. How do you get access to the rear of the fog lights to replace the bulbs. I could not figure out how to remove the plastic covering. I could use the help. Thank you.

Put your head under the car (underneath the fogs) two small doors are there (one one each side)...slide the latches open...let the door open and stick your hand up inside to the back of the fog...twist out old bulb...twist in new bulb and away you go / 5 mins max per side...I just did it about an hour ago

foglights, high beam and turn signal bulbs replaced. The foglight and high beam bulbs are much much whiter compared to the original ones and much closer to my HIDs nos. I bought the silver bulbs for the turn signal.....liking it.
