Default Fog Lights

ok so i feel really dumb and i can't figure out how to replace my fog lights... i have done this on my friends S4 and it took only a few minutes but i just can't figure out wherei get access to the fog light to put the new one it. cut me some slack as i have been flying all day and just got home and am really eager to replace them. so if anybody could help me out as to how to replace the fog lights that would be great. thanks and sorry for the stupidity :-(

No need to feel really dumb about it. Only one reason why. Its a b!tch. Until recently the front bumper had to come off in order to acheive this. But a couple months ago someone managed to confirm that you can wiggle your hand into the air duct next to the fog light and twist the bulb out. Ive tried it half@ssed a couple times and havent made any progress but when I get back from this business trip I might have to just sit down for a bit and make it happen. Best of luck to you man, no real advice I can give you besides get a friend with tiny hands.

nah unfortunately i wasnt able to get them in and havent really had the time to give it a good try since then...

but please let me know if you do succeed... do you think you could take off the front underpanel right below the front bumper and then try it from behind there?

ya i've tried that approach but my hands are way to tight to squeeze in past either above or below that single bar that goes across, i sat outside trying to fiddle my way through for an hour only to come away with marks all over my hands and arms so it looks like ive been cutting myself lol
