Water may get into them and cause the bulbs to blow premature due to condensation.

AFAIK they clip from the back, it'd be easier to remove the bumper to reach the clips...

alternatively, on each side you can remove three screws and a plastic plug (where the centre screw goes in) underneath the bumper - check out the service manual fog lamps under "lighting".
Pull out and flex the plastic shielding out to one side and stick your hand in - push the clips on the fog cover outwards and push forward - it may be easier if you have a buddy to assist and jacking up the car/or put on ramps depending how fat you are....
