Default How to remove fog lights?

How do you remove the factory fog lights from 1999 Ram 1500? It looks like a plastic snap fitting but I can't tell if you spread the sides apart or don't know if you need to rotate it or something. Without taking half of the bumper apart, I can't see what holds it on. I'd rather ask before I pull something the wrong way and break it.

The reflector is tarnished on one of the lights and both lenses need a good cleaning. Or, I may just replace them with some decent real fog lights. These don't shine much better than bright parking lights right now.

There are 2, 1/2 or 9/16(i dont remember!) bolts on the backside of the bumper.

You can see them, looking up from under the truck.

Thanks, PD
I hadn't had time to get under there and look good with a light. Or didn't have a light when I did look.

No Problem. You can also do it from the top, but it is harder to find the bolt w/o seeing it.

Also, you will need a deep well socket and a short extension.
