Red face Fog Light Replacement

I used the search option but no help that did for me,but i did come across some other interesting things about the fogs, anyways...

one of the bulbs blew out on my fog lights. so instead of just replacing one im gonna do both. I dont have a clue as to how to do that. by the looks of it, it seems like i have to remove the bumper in order to change the bulb cuz there is no way for me to reach in there and take em out. this freeks me out cuz that means ill have to pay someone else to do it cuz i dont know how to take the bumper off and paying a shop to replace bulbs is just embarrassing.

has anyone here replaced the bulbs on their SE-R foglights? if so please help me out cuz i would really like to do this myself. i havent bought the bulbs yet but if it's H11 then i found some yellow bulbs online i want( H11 Bulbs & H11 Headlights ) any suggestions on other yellow bulbs would be great too. i dont have alot of tools just your basic tool kit so let me know what kind of tools ill need.

thanks for all the help everyone.

H11 bulbs and I did not take off the bumper. I think I just removed the splash guard.

Edit: Found my original post about changing the fogs ---> http://www.nissanclub.com/forums/200...og-lights.html

Go with these bulbs instead. I just got them, but they seem pretty good. They have a nice yellow color to them and I think hella is a better brand.. Plus, they're cheaper than the ones you posted

sorry to bring this back up but as you can probably tell that i havnt bought the fog light bulbs yet. anyways i just got back from the dealership for my oil change and the 27 point check up. they mentioned my fog light was out (which i already knew) and they said that i need the hole fog assembly. i called them on their bs suggestion and just mentioned that the bulb just needs replacing. i mentioned the H11 bulbs but they didnt have a clue what i was talking about they dont even know bulbs go in there!!! i think they just want me to pay $185 for the assembly. not that i beleive the dealer but i hope you guys are right about the H11's i hate having to return products i buy online cuz its always a hassel.

Out of curiosity. i dont know much about HIDs but i was wondering if i did get HID fogs would i have to change the fog assembly or is it just wiring? is it easy to install what would i need (ill search for a how to on this site but if you know of one then it would be much appreciated)? any suggestions on what kit? i would really like to keep the OEM fog so the car still looks OEM but just has much brighter fog lights assembly cuz that is on of the things i like about the SE-R is that it looks better then the other altimas. it might have been a waste of time writing the first paragraph because i think id rather the HIDs

thanks again everyone you always help me out. Happy Turkey Day!!

Yes the SE-R uses 55W H11 bulbs for the fogs.

Here is what the manual says on how to replace the bulbs:
SE-R MODELS
Removal

The fog lamp is a semi-sealed beam type which uses a replaceable halogen bulb.
CAUTION:
 Do not touch the glass of bulb directly by hand. Keep grease and other oily substances away from
it. Do not touch bulb by hand while it is lit or right after being turned off. Burning may result.
 Do not leave bulb out of fog lamp reflector for a long time because dust, moisture smoke, etc. may
affect the performance of fog lamp. When replacing bulb, be sure to replace it with new one.
1. Remove the engine undercover using power tools.
2. Disconnect electrical connector.
3. Turn the bulb counterclockwise to remove it.
