Remove the two torx screws at each side of the foglight lens, pull the lens assembly out of it's bucket, turn it over and unclip the paperclip looking wire, lift out the old bulb. Install the new bulb without touching the glass, replace the clip, blah blah...

Just FWIW stick with the standard 35W bulb, the housings cant dissipate the heat of higher output bulbs. 100W bulbs are brighter, but they'll burn out constantly.

a generic fog light kit sold at most parts stores and walmart, Blazer is one brand, is a direct replacement for the lamps, reflectors and lenses of the stock firebird foglights. at less the $20, you get to replace all of the above.

Piece of mind....while changing the bulb, wear rubber gloves to prevent oil from your fingers getting on the bulb.
