2005 Aerio Fog lights Bulbs

what is the easiest way to replace fog lights bulbs in a 2005 / 2006 Aerio? I went under the car and it seems impossible to twist and remove the bulb, once you twist it , it hides behind a plastic cover and there is no way to pull it out!! Do I have to take it to the dealer?

i know it seems hard but on my aerio in the us here there was a rather long procedure to remove the bulbs. you have to take out the plastic to get to it. once there disconnect the bulb from the harness and twist. it should come out no problem. (this is the stock 4 inch round fog lights) it you are having let me know there is an alternative.

thanks for the info. Here what I did for my 2005 aerio SX US market: I went under the front pumper and removed the splash guard, I unpluged the harness, I used a tool to cut part of the Plastic cover that prevent the light bulb outer angle from leaeving the light housing. now I can twist and pull the bulb to the back and install a new one. I'm sure that the dealer have a speacial tool to reach the bulb from the front, but I wanted to do it my self fast, I'm a night driver and we have alot of fog here in the poconos area. The cut I made is not noticable and hard to to see during oil changes unless you remove the splash guard. now I can replace the bulbs faster than ever. by the way I upgraded from 12v/35w to maximum allowable by owners manual 12v/55w. I bought the bulbs from pepboys and they are H11 style.
