You'll have to remove the front lip to remove your fogs. That means MT, Stillen, etc...

You have to push the light from behind it. It won't move if you try to pull it out from infront of it. Ask Polo, I think he installed his foglights after installing his MT lip.

yeah had to remove the lip cause lining up the holes was just NOT happening...but i only moved it enough to put the fog in...since my drop is low enough for headaches, i don't remove the fogs from below. i find it 100x's easier to remove my headlight, and then i have complete access to the back of the fogs.

I ran into this same problem this week. For the life of me I can't get the fogs to come out. I wanted to put in a set of Ion Yellow bulbs but the suckers wont come out. Oh well...i'd rather not take the lip off.

Damn that sucks. If I installed a lip kit, I'd probably use some rivets in addition to tape or glue. So if you have to change a bulb or replace a cracked lens...shiet...

Not sure if this would solve the problem, but would taking off the front bumper help?

Again, I dunno, just trying to help out 2k2whitemaxi since his lip is glued on.

I had the same problem with my 2k touring lip. Just take the lip off, change the bulbs and slap it back on with double sided 3m tape and bolt it in or use rivets in original holes. Its not hard

its probably that 3m double sided tape ****. Believe me that stuff is tuff but it will come off if you use some manly strumf and give it a good tugg. It won't hurt anything
