the bulbs just twist out from the back of the houseing, you can to it with out looking under there as long as you can get an arm under it.... y can't you get under your car? and try using your spare tire jack just don't raise it very high it your gunna be inder it

if your bulbs are ok, check whether or not power is going to the fuse. if the switch is working correctly, but no power getting to the fuse, your turn signal switch is bad. the high beam circuit turns the fog's off, but could be stuck in that position.
