I have been under the car numerous times and have removed some of the miscellaneous screws behind the light housing, but it does not budge. I see a hinge that looks like the rear of the assembly should swing open, but it doesn't.

It appears, although unlogical, that the only way to remove the fog/driving light is to remove the bumper. I believe that because on the side (in the front) there is a little 'reflector' that has a Phillips screw at the top - directly adjacent to the bumper. That 'reflector' seems to help hold the assembly in place.

If anyone has a service manual, or has performed this task before, please help me out here.

BTW: I am NOT trying to simply replace the bulbs - I've done that several times and it only takes a few minutes to do.

You have a browser problem.

Did you very carefully remove the front reflector?

That's the issue - it looks like the reflector must come off, however there appears to be a screw holding the top of the reflector. I'm not sure, because I didn't pry on the reflector, because it seems like it will break easily.

So, let me get this right - I just remove the reflector (gently), then remove the clips from the lens?

Is that correct?

Thanks again.
