2005 civic 4dr ex

I had my headlights and fogs de-oxidized today. They look fantastic, but somehow the guys working on it pushed too hard and pushed the right corner of the right fog into the bumper slightly. I was able to pull it out carefully, but just what I was afraid of - it's now loose in the fitting. I have looked at install guides on how to install fogs and it looks like there is only two things holding the fog in place - a boss on the right and a bolt on the left. It says 10mm bolt size.

Can anyone verify this and tell me if there's a why to tighten this puppy up without removing the bumper? Access hole below to stick the ratchet in or something? It's actually loose on the left side now.

I too have an 05 EX Sedan. The fog lamps can be (easily) removed wothout taking off your bumper. I've changed the bulbs in both lights by merely using an extension on a ratchet and feeding it straight up thru the plastic bumper cover via an access hole.

Taking the front bumper off like said before only takes a few minutes, looking in the access hole can be difficult because you cant see very much but if you take out the plastic cips on the bottom of your bumper that hold what you can call that plastic skid plate on there, you can remove it and see alot more without actually taking the bumper off
