Replacing fog/city light in 06 coupe

Yeah I know search search I did it for hours (past 3 days).

Obviously everyone talks about how you can just turn the wheel (which is my prefered method). Others say just jack up the car and remove the wheels.

But there still isnt any clear DYI help on the 06 city light removal (swap).

I have my lights, but dont wanna take a chance until I atleast get a somewhat clear explanation on how to do this.

Any help?

I just replaced my fogs today, others burnt out. Quite a pain in the *** to do. I just turned the wheels in and forced my hands in there. Best of luck, just takes time to do

it might just be easier to remove the front bumper, and take the whole headlight out.

It's less of a hassle to jack the car up and take the wheel off then it is to remove the front bumper.

taking the headlight is a pain in the neck... removing bumper is ok, but the worse part (to me at least) is to detach the harness/cable to the headlight unit... I just didn't have enough space to apply force on the clip...
