the front does not come off. The foglights are actually on top of where there are two screws that are showing. Wish i could help but im not very descriptive.

my advice would be to just live with it

Or, why not disconnect the power to the fog lights?

use a small torch and melt the yellow off, it comes of pretty easy, along with the plastic from the lens... just keep some water handy and don't forget to take off0 the small black compulation valves on the light housing where the blub seal is.. you'll see it...

yellow/amber is the best color for foglights, as it is best at penetrating the inclement weather.

I hope you don't use the foglights when it's a clear night.

There is a button to turn it off and on, i prefer to drive with them on though, because my headlights are dim as hell, maybe its the gay blue tint on them i dunno, plus i think it looks good when all three of the lights are on, and matching color

ok here is what you do...

buy some bulbs
(broke=ebay 100w bulbs *150w will burn the tip*)
(got some cash=sylvania silvertars from autozone $20 ea.)
(50-70 bucks=PIAA bulbs)
(big ballin'=HID's)

so you buy the bulbs.
pop the hood.
twist off the thingy that locks the bulb in place.
pull the bulb off.
(dont touch the bulb otherwise you will mess em up. i suggest you use a clean towel)
plug the new bulbs in
twist the thingy back to locking position.
turn it ON.
hopefully it works.
smile.
pat yourself on the back.
close your hood.
and call it a day.
