1G 1Gb Talon Foglights, How To Remove Them From The Metal Bracket

[serviceguy]

Looking for info on how to remove the actual fog light housing (the cat eye ones from a 92-94 Talon that is) from its metal bracket. I would like to freshen up the brackets which will include de-rusting and repainting, so the housing has to come off, and I would like to avoid destroying them in the process. Thanks for any input you may have on this matter.

If i remember correctly they are secured to the bracket with philips head screws. I've had alot get stripped trying to remove them before, so be careful and use the right size screw driver.

You do not remember correctly, sorry. Those are the 1Gb eclipse fog lights (which are the same as the 1Ga for all makes) and yes they are a pain to remove if rusted, or you may be thinking of the metal bracket itself being actually split in two parts that are joined by two phillips head screw. I need to know how to separate the actual plastic housing from the metal bracket for powder coating. But thanks for you input.

1gb talons had different fog lights than the rest of the 1g's? You have a picture of them? Not having any luck googling pictures of them.
