Hello,
Quick version: I struck a loose tree stump in the road and broke my foglight blank/fins...
I'll find out more when the replacement arrives, but can this be replaced without removing the bumper? The closest answer that I found via search was the thread where a Sport owner had retrofitted fog lamps. In his case, the bumper was off and he had opted to just break the backing tabs. My part is broken already; so, careful removal may not be a priority. BUT can the replacement be installed from the front of the car with the bumper installed? Will it just snap into place? Or do I need to access the back, too?
Thanks!
