In this picture I circled the two items I'd like to know how to remove. One being the obvious fog light housing on the left, the plastic piece that holds the fog light in place. Could find a lot on how to remove the bulbs, but nothing about removing the housings themselves. The second item is on the right, its the fin shaped insert that is on 2gb front bumpers. I'm not sure what to call it so that is what I am referring to as "front fins". If there happen to be any articles on this that I possibly missed please provide me with a link. Also it be appreciated if the front bumper needs to be removed for this if I could be provided with a link on how to do that. Thanks in advanced.

The fog light bezels do not hold the foglights in place. There is a screw at the top on the inside of the bezel. Remove that and pop the bezel out. It may be possible to remove the foglights at that point, but it is very difficult. One of the bolts is somewhat easy to remove either by reaching up underneath or using a socket and extension (can't remember). The other two at the top are very difficult to get to. It would be easier to just remove the front bumper. The other piece is held on by some sort of clip if I remember correctly, and not too difficult to remove.

Taking off the front bumper is fairly easy. You just need to undo the fasteners holding the lower splashguards on both sides, two small bolts underneath holding the bumper to the fender, and then the 5 obvious bolts that you see when you pop the hood.

If I recall it's just two screws on the outside edge of the fog light, I was able to pop it out with a long phillips head and didn't have to remove the bumper. Just remove the two screws and then pull the fog light to the side to disengage the posts that hold it on towards the centerline of the car. I replaced the bulbs in both and a lens in one just a few months ago.

The mesh in your grill area and area next foglights hole was put in by someone. It is not a stock option for 2g's. So if you want it removed just have to look at how they connected and pull off!

This is a random image I found online just to show what I was talking about, mine are stock.[DOUBLEPOST=1417355723][/DOUBLEPOST]

Does it pop out the front or behind? Mine are already sorta popping out the front because the previous owner put them in wrong.
