yes...foglights out front...no...realigning not needed as long as you only touch the 2 screws.

Default I just reached underneath, from behind the foglight, to remove the bulbs....

Passenger side is easy to get at. Driver side is a little harder and you need to remove grill so you can push the hard rubber piece back and then grab the bulb socket, twist and turn, being careful when pulling it out and replacing with the new one.

Default That's a good right up, but on the passenger side, the intake really does not need to be removed....

Atleast on the 3.0ers, the Intake is a PITA to get back in perfectly ...

Soon I discovered the removal of the intake was really not necessary. Just an extension on the ratchet is all that is needed

Default Fogs is a very simple removal process...

There are 4 tabs holding in the fog grill. Take a small flat head screwdriver and softly creep the tabs to release the grill.

Now take a Philips Screwdriver and remove the 2 screws that hold the fog assembly in place.

Just the reverse process to reinstall.

Done

Default My method was even simpler.....

Reach underneath from behind, turn, and pull out on passenger side. Driver side is a little harder with that plastic piece behind the foglight housing, so I removed the grill and used one hand to hold it back, then used the other hand to carefully pull out the bulb socket.
