Default erm, there should be screwdriverable bolts on the side that let you take off the housing.

dont forget to use plastic or rubber gloves. the oil on your hands can warm up so hot that it coats the glass on the bulb and can blow it within hours.

Default Should be 2 screws holding fog light assembly on.

Remove. Open assembly (2 more screws. Disconnect bulb and replace. Installation is reverse of removal.

This is according to Bentley manual.
