I've looked but can't seem to figure out how to get to the bulb in the lower foglight housing. And correct me if I'm wrong, but it's an H3, right?

To get access to your fogs, you either have to take off the bumper or jack it high enough to get under there. It is probably easier to get the bumper off and then remove the fog.

You can look up your fog bulb in the owner's manual. Dont know off hand.

What I did was take out the front bumper, and then take out the fog light.
Underneath the fog light, there is 1 or 2 screws, then you can have access to the fog light.

My car is kind of low and then I don't have access to hydrolic lifter in the shop...
with my own hydrolic jack, it is not high enough to access the foggies :(

oh man... this is looking to be a PITA of a bulb change... oh well, is there anything I should be careful of when taking off the bumper? and about how many screws? (sorry to ask so many questions... )

Approximately 8 million screws. :D :D 2 million on both sides and 4 million in the center. :D ;) :)

could I perhaps jack the car up onto stands and lie down underneath to change it? Or would that be potentially disastrous?:p

Let's see bro,

- at the front, there are 4 big nuts. 2 behind the grill to cover the fans and 2 behind the tow hook covers.
- You also need to take out 3 bolts that holds both brake duct
- on each side, close to the fender, there are 2 screws that you need to take out.
- Once every bolts are out, get your hand inside each side. There should be a little lever that you need to push and then slide the bumper to the front.
