take the covers off in the boot,then you will be able to see the nuts you need to undo.the lights are held in by 5 10mm nuts screwed on to bolts in the lenses.once you have removed them you will have to pull the lights out,but they are sealed with a black strong sealer.you could try warming around your lenses with a hair dryer to soften.once you have pulled them out make sure you clean around where the new ones are going in.you need to get yourself some good sealer to reseal before you fit new lights.hope this helps.don't forget you will need a fog light fitting as the sti do not have one.you can take out one of your reversing bulbs and put your fog light in using a red bulb.
