Firebird FogLights

well one of my foglights blew out, i just got my car about two days ago and i noticed that one never turned on, i think it is the bulb, question is how the hell do i get to get the bulb out. i tried to unscrew the headlight so i can get in there and there was still no room, im not planning on taking my car apart to replace one bulb, its so tight around the lights, there has to be an easier way, does anyone know?

You need to take the fog lights out of the car to change the bulbs, it is a major pain, especially compared to the Camaro driving lamps.

Tak out the 2 screws you can see on the front of the light housing. Next you need to reach up under the front to the actual bumper bar. There are 2 screws there that hold the bracket for the light in place, they use a 9/32" socket to unscrew them. Remove the screws and then manuver the bracket around until you can pull the light housing out through the front. There is a metal spring clip that holds the bulb into the housing, squeeze it and remove it, the bulb will come right out then.
