you're going to have to get under the car with a jack, and unscrew the entire casing, then you can get to the bulb itself. it takes a bit to get to, and the bulb, which i don't remember what # it is, can be bought at a lot of places. i'm sure pep boys has 'em. correct me if i'm wrong, guys.

no jacking up the car or removing the housing necessary. I am not sure what type it is but if you go to walmart they have a lil machine that will tell you what kind. well pop the hood. I cant remember exactly how i did this but some times you will have to get under the car and other you will need to reach through the grill opening in front of the radiator(LET CAR COOL OFF). The first thing is to twist off the backcover, it might be a little stubborn. Then there is a little metal clip that secure the bulb in place, un latch it. then remove old bulb and inser new one. Secure metal latch, check to see if it work. place plastic cover/housing back on. IT may get frustrating just take your time.

Not sure if this helps since rukarims has a '94, but the fog light bulbs on my '96 ES is H3 type. You can check the owner's manual for your car and look at the "electrical" section to see what kind of bulbs your fog lights operate on.

dude, this is a total walk in the park. Fog lights don't change much. Housings and locations do, but connections are pretty much the same. If you have H3 bulbs, this will be real easy.
Bulds go any where from under $10 a piece to $65/pair, depending on what you want (brand, brightness, and color).
Make sure you get the same wattage rating you are replacing.
Zeta is right, go from the bottom up. The fogs are below the bumper struts. It will be easier to come up from under the car rather than reaching down through.
I changed the bulbs on my '02, and like lexusk8's '96 mine are also H3 and I bet yours are too.
