Default C240 Foglight Bulb Replacement Question

My 8500K Xenon bulbs came in for my headlights and foglights. The headlights were and easy swapout, but I'm curious how the foglight bulbs are replaced. Do I need to take the front portion of the wheel well shroud off to access the back of the foglights and change the bulbs or is there a more simple way I'm overlooking? Any help would be appreciated!

yes 10mm screws and a couple push pins and maybe a phillips screw or 2 . just remove the bottom plastic part below the foglamp.

Wow! The replacement of the driver's side foglight was a bear...lol. I didn't realize my arm was capable of torquing in the ways needed to reach the back of the foglight. The passenger's side was very straight-forward since you can just open the hood and see it. I took the "from above" approach on the driver's side too, except I was reaching blind and had to be super careful not to touch, or let the bulb be touched by anything since those Xenon's are so sensative to oils being on them. The washer fluid reservoir was in the way too. I was slightly afraid of popping those plastic clips out on the undershroud to approach from below as suggested by chassis221.
