I'm trying to replace the stock fog bulbs to yellow bulbs. Didn't see many threads about swapping fog bulbs for 09/10. I'm wondering if I need to take off the front bumper first. Anyone has experience? Thanks.

Yes. remove the bumper.

Thanks man, I ended up spending 2 hours to replace the fog bulbs. I gotta say it was a bad design to replace bulbs that way!
Fortunately, I put the bumper back properly and the yellow fogs look great. Hope the bulbs last long time.

Always helpful to know how to this bumper. Now you can install some hella supertones

true, hella is the next proj.

it is absolutly not necessary to take the bumper off to install/replace the fog lamps. there is 1 10mm bolt and 1 plastic pin that needs to come out and everything is accessable. sorry you wasted all that time. .
