How to take out Foglight?
I can't find a way to get the protector out so I can take out the fog light. How and where are the things to take out the fog light. I just got a pair of bright fog lights (not going to melt them) I want to put in.

Here you go, in detail...
The whole lower grill section on each side comes out (each side/section, consisting of the two black grills and the body color frame. Here's how:
1). Take two screwdrivers and use them on the two lock-tabs (inside each black, grill section). They are located on the sides closest to the license plate. Put the screwdrivers into the little slots on the lock-tabs and push/pry them away from the license plate, approx. 1/4". Once they are both pushed/pried away from the license plate direction, pull outward on that side of the grill (only pull the side with the lock-tabs first). This should free the lock-tabs side of the grill.
2). Then, once you have the lock-tab side free, pull/slide the entire grill section towards the license plate. It should slide toward the license plate about 3/8" of an inch. This allows the barbed-tabs on the opposite side of the grill to free themselves.
3). Now, once you have the side of the grill panel closest to the license plate free, and the grill is slid toward the license plate approx 3/8", you can firmly tug straight outward on the entire grill panel. This will pull out the remaining friction-tabs on the top and bottom of the grill section (don't be afriad to pull extra firmly if needed... just make sure the lock-tabs on the right and left sides of the grill panel are free before you pull).
Good luck.
