Foglight replacment

Question..tried to replace my foglights today, got a new set in to match colour wise with my cefiros, and I could not get the friction lock off the foglights, it looks like to me, I would have to remove entire front bumper, I'm a bit slow, but some help would be much appreciated.Thanks

Yep, just the bulbs, looks to me, I can't seem to get to the friction lock, like that on the cefiro headlights, too much of an angle, and I don't wish to break that little lock.

You are removing the splash guard and comminng from behind the foglight right? It's simple but kinda a PITA. Instructions are in the owners manuel.

I did it yesterday for my first time, and it took me an hour and a half =(. I too had a HUGE problem with the lock. One side was alright, the other side was just stuck, as it seemed. It fricken hurt my fingers just trying to push it down to unlock the metal piece, so it's rounded but a little pointy. I was afraid of breaking something, but finally was able to get it loose. Changing fogs was a biach for the first time. But from here on, it'll be a cinch.
