Can anyone help me? The front drivers fog light vibrates as I go down the road. I am able to remove the access plate- three phillips screws and one bolt but how do I get the fog light unit out of the bumper?
Thanks!

It's held in by plastic clips, and they are next to impossible to remove easily. Just work at them with a screwdriver.

Does anyone have an exploded diagram of how these fog lights are mounted to the bumper?
I don't want to force the foglight and break anything.

Thanks !

OK im not too sure why you guys are having trouble with the fogs. I have been taking mine out regularly the past few months because i have been having trouble with the bulb and I find they are very easy to take out/reinstall. The entire fog light assembly just slides in and out of the bumper pocket. At the bottome of the bumper pocket there is a screw that holds the fog light in place, unscrew that and the fog light should just push out easily.

the third picture at the bottom shows how the fog light slides in and out. The screw at the bottom (vertical standing screw) is the only thing holding the fog light in place.

Thanks !!
Without understanding that once the M6 machine screw is remove from the backside of the foglight the two metal pins that go into the plastic grommets
look like they are threaded. Now I understand from your diagram that you provided that they are just notched and should ratchet out with a little help from the back. All my life I've found that to FORCE SOMETHING without understanding is to BREAK SOMETHING.
Again thanks for the help.
