I cannot even begin to see what needs to come apart. Why the hell did Ford do it like that!?

At least the mains are some what easy to do.

Thanks for any advice...I really hope the front of the car doesn't have to come apart.

you have to remove the grille, or loosen up the bumper. pull the radiator cover off by prying up the clips. then loosen the 10mm bumper bolts near the headlights. you should be able to pull the buper far enough forward to gain access to the bulbs. if not, you have to remove the grille, by prying the arrow tabs off of the bumper.

It's looks in written form much harder then it is. You can have the grill out in just 2 or 3 minutes... and then the fog lights are right there in the open for you to work on.... No squirming your hand in-between the grill and rad, no working in a spot you can only feel, not see.

It really is easy to do

I was going to say the same thing. Hell, you can even take the whole front fascia in a matter of minutes.
