Pop the black soft plastic piece that is around the fog light off with a screw driver or something with leverage (from the left side in the picture there is a tiny groove) then behind it there are two screws diagonal from each other that you have to take out and then unhook the power harness and you are good to go. Takes like 2 minutes total!

I just assumed access to the fogs was from the rear when I went to change out the bulbs on my coupe and didn't even bother to look at the front of the housing. :confused: So I just undid the clips from the bumper and shroud/air dam/whateveryouwanncallit and just reached up in there to swap them out. Conversely, you could just take the bumper off and do it if you may want to do anything else at the same time. Ideas: new horns, AC condenser screen, plasti-dip grill, etc. Bumper is super easy to take on and off!
 
I have the fog light overlays coming soon so I looked this up in the owners manual the other day. It's on page 286. It's supposed to be as easy as GSquared says. Hopefully it is.

You are coming from the wrong side, I don't think that that hole should be there... Basically follow the chrome piece to to fog light, there should be a tiny tiny area you can barely put the screw driver in, just pull that out and the black plastic has a hinge it will turn on like a door opening.

Yeah I think they changed it for the '13s. I had a thin LED bulb so it worked out. I did have to bend the tabs on one of the sections of the locking pieces with pliers or it wouldn't fit though. Take a look at where it's catching as the hole looks big enough from that picture?

That I have not done, but I believe that is the easiest way to do it, yes.
