Changing Fog Bulbs

Ok, pardon the noob question, but I'm new to the S197 GT, and as I just plunked down a multi-year commitment to my car, I'd like not to f%$% it up.

That being said, I can't find a guide to changing the GT fog bulbs (I want to put in really yellow bulbs and actually use them as fog lights...go figure).

I pulled off the shield on top of the radiator only to discover that I don't think my hands can do the necessary car-yoga to get the lights out. So how do you change them? I'm assuming that pulling the front fascia is the best way and not trying to just remove the grill itself (I found a pdf for bumper cover removal already), but before I do it, just wanted to know if there's something I'm missing.

Thanks in advance for the help!

you can either pull the grill itself, or remove the 2 10mm bolts that have the gt upper grill and bumper cover out. you may or may not have enough room, but that is correct iin what you have to do.

Once you pull out the two 10mm bolts you can pull the grill out far enough to slip your hand down there. It's on pg 37 (If I remember correctly) of the owners manual.

I just changed mine out tonight and just unhooked the grille from the two tabs on either side. Once you do that you have plenty of room to change the bulbs.

Gotter done! Yeah, it was a lot easier than I thought. I'm not normally timid about diving in and pulling stuff apart to figure out how everything goes, but I haven't even made my first payment yet...just want my stang to stay nice and pretty and unmolested by me cause I didn't know what I was doing...

For now.
