from personal experience, your going to have to remove the bumper. It took me about 45 min to take off, but I had no experience. It seems like it's gonna be a hassle, but it's not too bad. It's helpful if you have someone helping you to help hold the bumper while you take off the screws.

If you want to remove the fog light housing completely then you will have to remove the bumper to get to the top screw that holds it in place. Another way would be to remove the bulb and stick a paper towel in through the hole and let it soke up the excess water. Make sure you have bulb seated properly and TIGHT or else this will keep happening. Aftermarket bulbs are notorious for a very tight fit and most times people do not seat them properly.

Paper towel taped to the end of a stick method is what I used. Pulling the bumper is a pain and you should do it only if you are totally replacing the fog light housing. Or if you don't mind that kind of thing...

I took both of my fog lights off my bumper without removing the bumber. You remove the lower cover that covers underneath the engine and remove the mounting screws and it pops out.
