Removing Fog Lights from 2014 SR5 Premium

[SoCal4Run]

Ok, so I'm trying to remove the fog lights to ease the install of new Lamin-x. The drivers side came out easy. Two screws and put out from two slots.

However, the passenger side has some cover over it, blocking access to the screws. Can anyone tell me how to remove this cover, or how to remove the black plastic cover around it. I pushed out a lot of clips, but can't tell how the top is held in. Thanks.

The black plastic shroud is a bit tricky to remove. I just did this last week so I know exactly what you are experiencing. There is a white plactic tab that you need to remove to allow the plastic exterior surrounding the right fog light to be removed. This plastic tab is located behind the foglight housing. Once the plastic exterior piece is removed, you will see two tabs that can now be accessed which will release the black plastic fog light shroud. Hope that makes sense and wish I had taken some pictures...

Thanks, so if I'm understanding this correctly, the tab is within the cover directly behind the fog light? So I need to stick my hand up inside the cover and feel for it? Or is it on the back side of the fog light and cover where you can't see it? Thanks again.

It is outside of the cover. The way i reached it was from above. I removed the large black plastic cover inside the engine compartment so I could reach down to reach the white tab. Not sure if you can get to it from below. Once you find it, push the foglight and surrounding exterior plastic which releases pressure off of the white tab. If I remember it right, pull the tab from left to right, but its possible I have that backwards.

Thanks again for the help. Unfortunately, the material Lamin-x sent me isn't right. It doesn't cover the whole lense. Not sure if they just sent me wrong product or what. But it definitely did not cover the whole lense.

You can find pictures of replacing the assembly in the thread about the new Led fog lights from TRS, probably help your project. Looks very easy to get at...

Thanks, I'll check that out. Like I said, put on hold since what they sent me doesn't fit.
