Fog light trim ring removal?
 
Anyone know how the fog light trim ring removes? I was thinking maybe there are clips from behind but before I pulled it in the garage, dropped the shield and all if that's where it was for sure?

I'm wanting to check the options about painting or plastidipping it.

Somehow I knew this was coming based on your comment in your window trim thread. :p

No worries, you damn dirty ape. You just need to remove the fog light assembly. And while that's easy enough, it's also a minor PITA. Check out the FSM, it's a big help.

Wait... I wrote this up not long ago. Go here and see Post #47: https://www.myg37.com/forums/g37-sed...mber-fogs.html

Hey thanks very much. I remember that thread but didn't get deep enough to that length in reading it. I know you were taking out the lens, think it's possible to get to the trim ring clips from behind without popping that whole assembly out?

I think so, yes. But you have to do it by feel unless you completely remove the fender lining, which probably isn't going to happen.

ok I'll see what I can do first, but sounds like that filler panel will need to come out. I'm wondering however since I have the lower chin spoiler and the LED running lights that it isn't going to kill my plan as I am thinking it will go.

Adding the LEDs adds a couple of brackets and makes it several times harder to get to. How to paint with them on the car...... hmmm

Has anyone figured out how to do this with a sport bumper with the OEM front lip/spoiler?
