I go through the wheel well, being careful to pop out the pop rivets with out breaking them and then reaching in from behind the housing.
I have to go back in because my driver'* side WHICH I JUST CHANGED, is off and on again. I am going to try running a ground wire from the bulb housing (where the metal clip fastens) out to the frame. I am pretty sure it isn't getting grounded by the housing, thus causing my on/off flicker problem.

I take the headlight out and just reach in to change it. The first time I did it sucked but once you figure out how the clip works it is very easy. I can change both fog light bulbs in under 10 minutes now.

By the way, I like the laser blue bulbs at NAPA. They are only slightly tinted.

I am honestly very close to removing the whole damned thing, housing and all. Without a doubt these are the most pain-in-the-*** foglights I have EVER owned. We've had the 96 for 10 years and I have only changed ONE foglight in ten years.

I kept having to change mine even after having the harness changed to the updated one. It was always the drivers side that would burn out. I had the dealer replace the entire assembly and have not had to change it since then. The first time I changed the bulbs I went through the wheel well on the first one but once I had a visual of what the retaining clip looked like I have been able to change it through the headlight. If I get a chance I will try and get a photo of what it looks like for you this weekend.
