haha, i was the same way when i did mine for the first time. once you remove the 10 mm bolt at the bottom of the assembly, you just need to pinch in those two white tabs at each upper corner of the assembly and push real real hard and the whole assembly will pop out.

A rock punched a hole in my fog and the dealer wants $200 for a replacement (part only). I can get 2 lights and the turn signal stalk for $185 at www.courtesyparts.com. I don't need the turn signal stalk. Anyone know where I can just get the lights (or just a right one)?

light as in light bulb? local autozone should be able to find some parts

as for the fog lights:
taking off the headlights gives great access to the two white tabs on top of the fog light. Then you'll need to remove the splash guard on the bottom to remove the black 10mm bolt. Keep wedging and pushing

Oh yeah. Duh!
And it's the whole light, the bulb was intact and the light still works. The rock was still in it. Clear packing tape does the job for now, but it looks ghetto.
