Installing Fogs

Don't Laugh, but I cant get the plastic cover off thats around my fog lights. I dont want to break it off. People with experience, how did you guys take it off not breaking the plastic cover? thanks

There's a little plastic clamp (?!! don't know how to name that in English...) that's part of the light assembly, you have to release that carefully (try with a flat screwdriver) and then pull the whole thing out. not hard at all...
hope this helps

I can see what the foglamp is holding on too. But there is no way that I can fit a flat head screw driver to unclip the clamp. This is pissing me off!

I just wiggled it around and turned it side to side until it came right out. Just be patient and it will come out.

Yeah, I just changed mine....You have to tilt it a little then just pull it out and it clicks right off.
Fairly easy...
