How to replace fog light assembly

[eclalala]

Hi,

I did a quick search online and didn't find any info... I have a 2003 Protege and the passenger side fog light cracked and is missing a large chunk. I have received a replacement set but I'm quite lost as to how to put it in myself.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

if you haven't gotten it done yet here in a nutshell is how you change it
1 remove grille
2 remove the under fender shield and under shield
3 remove the screws that hold the bumper to the fender
4 the bumper should almost be out except for two parts the jacks for the fog lights
and maybe the clips at the side of the head light unscrew the fog light replace with new one and reverse your order of removal

Hi, I'm looking for some more info. I'm pretty familiar with most of the body parts on the front end, have had my grill and bumper cover off several times, just replaced a headlight without any trouble, but I have a problem with foglights. I don't have existing ones for reference and can't find an attachment point. I just removed a crappy body kit and the foglights and some of the under-bumper parts were removed to accommodate the shape. Thus, I can fit the foglight assembly into all 3 holes in my new stock bumper cover. The whole thing fits snugly and it's obviously in the right place, but the fat bolt sticking out the back with the nut on it is still a couple of inches from the nearest plate. Nothing to attach to. Am I missing a part? I have scoured the parts illustrations and can't find anything under foglights or bumper parts that screams "bolt the foglight to me". Any help would be really appreciated... nothing like hauling around brand new parts I can't install :P
