you will have to take off the front bumper, wheels and the plastic lining in the wheel arch to get to the fog lights. i had to do this last week as i fitted my aero kit. had to move the fog lights so they were in line with the aero bumper.

or take off your front bumper and you can see the back of the screws that are holding the fog light in place.. use a pair of plyers and just unscrew the screws backwards if that makes sense and then replace them with the head facing outwards thats what I did when moving the fog lights

out of interest was it difficult taking the inner wheel arch off? mine is cracked badly and the local dealer wants 300quid to fix it

I was after replacing the front fogs with yellow driving lights like our frends across the pond have albeit not in replace of the fogs, i think it would look pretty cool but how much would it cost to do

I've done this - I don't think you need to remove the wheelarch liners - I got complete access to the fog light unit just by removing the bumper... i found instructions on here... somewhere....
