About two months ago I hit a flying cardboard at 70 mph. Fortunately there's no paint / body damage, but unfortunately the cardboard broke my passenger side fog lamp. The foglamp lens is intact, however the whole assembly was "punched" in and the small pieces that held the assembly to the bumper broke. I removed the black plastic cover and managed to remove the foglamp assembly through the opening.
However in order to install the new foglamp, I'll need to be able to access it from the wheel well side. So I'm guessing I'll need to put the car on a jack, remove the wheel, and remove the wheel well cover. But before I do that, I'll appreciate if anyone who has done something like this can enlighten me what I'm going to run into.
Thanks very much in advance.
