you can just turn the wheel and unscrew the lining. there are 3-4 screws that you remove and you can peel the lining away and access the fog light bulbts.

Just have to go from under the tank or from the sides. It can be done. On a side note: funny that I'm providing the technical support and not the person you bought it from.

Yea this seems to work great on the passenger side. but i cant get my hands in to access the drivers side due to the tank in the way.
