I was switching out my old foglights for new ones and one of the fog light bulb fell inside the foglight housing thing. How do I take the whole foglight unit out, I tried to look under there but its dark outside and cold. Is it easy to do?

Yes, it is very easy to do. All you have to remove 2 nut/bolt (not remember which one) out and oh don't forget unhooked the wire out too. I use my car on lift ramp to more room to work on it. I'm big guy. I don't know if you are.

I used be 255lbs at 5'9" working on that last year. Maybe you should be fine Oh I also put thin rag on bottom of fog light so I don't want scratches my front bumper paint if you want it neat. When you removed 2 nuts/bolts. Fog light will fall on bumper paint little bit.

Well palsut, my front bumper is already in need of a repaint because of bugs, rock chips, people trying to steal my license plate and ect.
I don't have no ramps, but I have a hydralic jack that I use for everything.
TBAT, I always been interested in buying some new foglights but I want something to just bolt straight in the factory holes, no modifications or wirings. Are there any products out there like this?

Why do you want new fogs? You can get stockers from Morad, or you could go with some aftermarket ones.

I used own yellow metal ramp but it is too big for my car after I got her in 2004. I just like suck for me. How can I use it. I went to Auto Zome and found "rhino ramp". It is really work. I use them for change my oil all the times. No scratches or touch on my front bumper. You can find them on walmart, meijer, and auto zone. That's how I saw them. Not sure about other store. They have black or silver. I use silver because my car is silver duh lol http://www.rhinoramps.com/

I want new foglights because the ones on my car now are real cloudy and I figure since Im trying to replace them, why not get some new ones while Im at it. I want new stock foglights but I'm willing to upgrade to an aftermarket foglights if I don't have to do no wiring or cut/drill anything.

Then you probably don't want aftermarkets, there is a little work involved in getting them working (not too bad). The advantage is far superior output.

to use ramps you need like 6' pieces of 2x6 leading up to the ramps.
i learned the hard way when a tow truck came with a flat bed and almost tore off my bumper
