It is very simple actually.
You need to remove the bumper first though. after that there are 3 screws (I think it is 3) that hold each one in place. Unplug the wiring and take them out.
Bumper is also a very easy job.
I don't really wanna go into details on that, as I am sure there is a DIY on it. but on the high level: pull out the plastic pins from under the front fenders (in the wheel wells) and you'll have access to the corner turn lights. there is a screw that holds each in place. Take it our, and unplug the corner light wires. now from under the car pull out all the screw that hold the lower portion of the bumper (there are 8 I think, maybe 10). Ten finally, pop the hood and take out the plastic partition that covers the opening in front of the engine bay. then remove 4 10mm bolts that hold the bumper.
Hope it helped.

Sell the harness, or the lights?
The lights you disconnect from the harness by pulling the connector out of it's socket.
Why do you want to take them out?

just keep the wireing in your car. all RX8s come pre wired for fog lights. even if you car does not come with fog lights, you still have the wireing. if you want to take out your fog lights just take them out and take out the turn signal switch and then you can sell it that way.. i do have the non fog light turn signal switch and the plastic pieces that holds the fog light.

Alright, so is it possible to buy different after market fog lights and plug them right into the stock wiring harness?
Also if I leave the wiring taped up and turn on the fog lights when their not there will there be an electrical problem? Electrical Shortage? or burning? I don't know that much about wiring. Although I did a nice clean job wiring with my neons inside lmao
Thank You
