I was looking for something like that too because when Mazda Replaces them next week, I want to change the bulbs to match the xenon lights.

Here are the pages of the shop manual dealing with removal/installation of the fog lights.

Yes, but changing the foglight is no walk in the park. It can be a BEAR getting to that area.!! I had mine up on a hydraulic lift and had a hell of a time replacing the bracket holding one in.

Do a search on "replace foglights". You will see there are several threads and several suggestions concerning foglight replacement. Good luck...

Yeah, the best approach is probably to first remove the entire front nose and then it should be an easy task to replace the fog light. Removal of the front end seems to be a daunting task at first, but it's not really that difficult.
