Default Fog Light Help?

heyy, i was wondering if anyone could help me with this little predicament i've gotten myself into. i just got a second gen IS 250 and i wanted to switch out my stock fog lights to yellow fog lights. however, i can't seem to find out how to do it. lol. so here i am stuck with yellow fog lights and no idea how to put them in. would anyone be kind enough to help with a tutorial or direct me towards one? please? thanks!

shine a flashlight in there and see if your tabs on the bulbs are lining up right with the slots.
