If I remeber correctly ffrom my Ek you remove the bumper and there should be a couple of screws holding it in. Undo the harness and voila ur done. That is if your talking about the foglights.

i say pull em out and sell em in our classifieds section. tons of people like this, but im with you. i like the more clean look without em, but you can definately have the labor costs paid for by selling the fogs for sure.

please stop "bumping" this thread...the original thread creator got his answers. There is no reason to bump this - ESPECIALLY EVERY THREE MINUTES

here are his possible solutions.

1.) keep the fogs (grey/silver bezel)
2.) keep the fogs & have the bezel painted to match the car
3.) get a new bumper (or trade) shipping from NZ to anywhere else will be very/too expensive
4.) have a body shop "fill" the holes & have it painted to match &lt;--- not worth it IMO

please do not "bump" this thread - he got his answers - thanks
