    Anyone have experience replacing the fog light housing on an '05 Prius?

    While washing the car this weekend, I noticed that the the glass bezel on our left fog light was shattered. There was a 1/4" wide by 3/8" chunk of the bezel missing and a bunch of glass shards inside of the light housing.

    The bulb survived and I removed it, but I'm having trouble removing the foglight housing from the bumper.

    I was able to release a plastic clip from the 11 O"clock position, which partially holds the fog light in place, but I don't see a way to release the plastic wedge-connector from the "press-fit" stud that holds and adjusts the aim of the fog light. Any ideas ?

    Lastly, anyone know if these fog lights or some that fit the bumper are available from an after-market vendor? I'd like to either switch them both to Lexan bezels or cover the black plastic grilles with Lexan, to prevent the next road hazard from damaging the glass.

    Thanks,
