PIAA H3 install help for 2000 GLE

I'm trying to get my H3 bulbs in, but can not get the fog light housing to come loose. I followed the steps from Housecor, but his is a 5.5 and I think it may be a little different housing assembly on the 5. When I'm under the front end and looking at the fog light housing from the back there is a screw at 6 o'clock(can come off w/ a 10mm socket). Housecor shows another screw at 12 o'clock, but I'm not seeing anything up there. I even used a mirror to look around. All I see is a small silver set screw at 3 o'clock, but can not get a screw driver and my hand in there, because of the bumper/grill components(too tight). Any idea on what I'm missing. Nissan wants $45 bux to do this, but I'm confidnet I can get it done with org. help. Thanks

There only one screw at 6 o'clock and then get the tricky power cord off the back of it. Now try to get a grip on the unit from the front and wiggle it back and forth while pushing out from the back. The whole unity should come off and the rest is simple. I just changed mine last weekend. PM with questions, i'll help as much as possible.

Good Luck
