Default fog lights

alright guys, i have a problem and it's a stupid one, but i'm just not sure how to fix it. i have a 2001 blazer Lt i have the fog lights built in next to the turn signal and below the headlight. i just bought some new bulbs and was able to put the low beams in, but i can't seem to figure out how to get the fog light housing off to change it's bulbs as well any idea on what i should be looking for to take out the housing? help is greatly appreciated
thanks!

If you remove the headlamp housings is there enough room to access the fog light socket from the space vacated by the headlamp housing?

If not, you may have to remove the grill. It just snaps into the radiator core support, but just start to pull on one side near the fender and work your way around. You should be able to get to them.

i tried that but it was sticking right in the middle with the chevy emblem, should i just pull it straight off? cause it's just flimsy plastic i don't wanna break it, and no there's not enough room behind the fog to get to the bulb once i pull off the headlight housing. you'd think chevy would've made this easier

I'm just going from memory here, but I believe there are 8 total spring clips that hold the grill on.

I'm sure there is something that is being missed but I cannot think of it right now... I have changed these bulbs before without incident, however I cannot conjure up the memory of these instances...

Just keep your hands near where the clips are and you shouldn't have any trouble with the grill. I don't know how many times I've man-handled the grill on my Bravada for one reason or another and it hasn't broke on me yet, *knock on wood*.

Then again, if it were to break, it be more of a motivator for me to find a black Jimmy grill to stuff with a custom chrome billet insert with the Olds logo in it. LOL

On the bottom of the grill piece with the bowtie in it, near the center, there's two notches... I use those as handles... They're just big enough for my hands to fit, to get a grip on them...
