I have done all the search that I could but no answer.
I know it does sounds like a hard task but I believe they must be someone out there who has done it.
How is it done?????

Crank the steering, full lock on the side you are changing, so you can get to the front of the fender liner. Or you can remove the wheel on that side for better access.

Remove the four screws you can see in the fender well and one screw underneath at the bottom that attaches the fender liner to the front air dam. You only need to bend the fender liner out of the way to get your hand behind it.

Reach in and turn the cable & bulb socket 1/4 turn CCW and pull out the bottom with the cable attached. You can then release the cable and replace the bulb.

You can either have an H7 or an H11 fog lamp bulb depending on your build month.

Xenon matching fog light bulbs? Fogs are more yellow than standard lights (generally) for a reason you know? What have you swapped them out for?
