Hey guys I am lost, I can't seem to get one of my fog lights out to replace the bulb. I got the other out and replaced it but the other is stuck. One of the pop clips is stuck and it won't come off. I am getting really frustrated and I just want to break it off now. If you know of any website or anything that can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

which clip do you mean?

There are 3 if I remember right, 2 on the back of the foglight housing itself that look like little nipples and they just wedge themselves in the holes on the bumper. The last one is for the wiring harness/clip, just to hold it onto the foglight assembly. If you're talking about the 2 on the back of the foglight housing itself, take a flathead screwdriver and push on the nipple part to shove it out. Really hard to explain in words...I'm even confusing myself here, but it's really a very simple concept. Instead of pushing on it with your finger, just put a flathead screwdriver on it and then push on that. Make sure the foglight is still plugged in though, if it's not then the foglight assembly can go flying out the front of the car when the second clip pops out (I think my record is around 4 feet). They were pretty simple for me though, it takes me about 30 seconds to remove each foglight, and most of that is just unscrewing that one screw.

1 - Unscrew the screw on the bottom
2 - Put a flathead screwdriver on the nipples and push towards the front of the car to pop them out
3 - After they're both out and the foglight housing is just kinda hanging there, unplug it from the wiring harness and then do what you need to do.

Yeah it was those "nipples" that were giving me trouble. One was easy but the other one I had to get out the biggest screwdriver I could find to get enough leverage to get the thing out. It was stuck in there man, it was unbelieveable. Thanks for the instructions.
