Default How to change GXP fog lights?

Hey guys, I'm stumped, does the front grill insert over the fog lights pop off? How in the hell do you get to em without removing the whole bumper? Sorry if this is a dee de dee question.

There is a push in fastener which holds a flap beneath the fog lights on the bottom of the bumper. Underneath this is a black which is part of the air dam. But to access the fog lights you will need to cut out a pre-notched square bit of plastic using either a sharp utility knife or a saw. This is no joke. That is how this comes from the factory. But after you cut the square of plastic away you will be able to access the fog lights. Then you just bend back the plastic flap and re-install the push in fastener. The plastic flap will completely cover the hole so don't worry. Also, the fog lights are H11's.

The Montes change by taking the headlight assy out and just reaching down - takes about 5 minutes. Can you do the same?

Unfortunately you can't man, it sucks. Appreciate the input though. The problem I'm having now is that it's so friggin' cold here that I can't cut that plastic to get to em, so I'm gonna have to wait till it warms up to even get to em. BOOOOOOO
