Help with fog lights

Anyone live in the NOVA area that can show/help me with changing out a fog light bulb? I read a few threads and tried the method of peeling back the front fender liners, but my big neanderthal hands had a hard time getting to the bulb and I could not figure out how to release it.

Thanks in advance!

I just did this to try and repair a lamp from a racoon strike.

Racoon 1, lamp 0

I am an oaf myself and just unscrewed all of the plastic fender liner screws in the front of the wheel well to the strut area, undid the plastic screws underneath the lamp area around the lip, and just hauled back on the fender liner. It gave me enough room to access where the lamp was (or should be, if it has not been battered off its mounts) and remove it. It helps if you fully crank the wheel to get more room in the wheel well.

Johnny and DME- Thanks for the input and help! I actually ended up taking it to a place to get it changed as the rejection sticker on the car only had one day left (I did not realize that).

But DME i appreciate the steps you gave as to how to do it as I did not remove all the screws you mentioned, so that probably it explains the limited amount of space I had.

Thanks again, I appreciate the feedback!
