I can not help you with other brands of Fog Light Globes/Lamps...BUT...

Series II Fog Globes uses HB4 (51W) and are not the same as the Series I which uses H11(55W).

Series 1... Maz# 9070-37-550 H11 12V55W (same as 2009 MX-5)
Series 2... Maz# 9970-37-550 HB4 12V51W (same as CX-9, 09 Mazda 3)

S2 Fog Light outer chrome cover (stripe) cover body must be pulled straight out (held in with clips one each side), then it exposes 3 screws, remove, the lift Fog Light up and out (watch your Oil Coolers), turn Lamp around and replace the Globe, reinstall Fog Lamp.

awesome, thank you so much! Looks easier than I thought, I assumed I had to access it through the wheel well!

or just be lazy and take the front bumper off :lol2:

I replaced mine like on that post, removing the trim and the 3 screws. And make sure the trim is firmly clipped back after, each one of those costs ~$100.
