Default Fog Light Bulb Replacement Assistance Needed

So changing the fog bulbs on my g/f's V6 Pony isn't as simple as it was to change the bulbs in the fogs in my GT. I unbolted the top of the grill but the fog lamp assembly on the V6 is deeper than the ones on my GT and I couldn't get my hand in there. What's the trick?

No it's not. But getting the grill out far enough so I can GET to the damned socket seems to be!

Yes... take off the black radiator cover. Remove the top screws and you have to pull the grill back enough to get to the lights.. it's hard.. but once you get the first one off.. the second will take less than half the time.

Thanks, afixer. That one pic showing the clips should do the trick. I'll be back in Chicago in 2 weeks at the g/f's place and I'll be sure to post after the bulb swap when I return home.

Like I mentioned in my OP, I was able to get to the bulbs on the GT since the housings aren't as deep.
