Question Replacing Broken Fog light with OEM???

OK My dumb question of the month.
I am replacing a broken OEM Fog Light on my 2005 F350
with an OEM fog light.
How can you do this without taking off the front bumper.
HELP

If you can stick your hand in between the fogs with a ratchet you could do it that way......only 3 (?) bolts hold the fog light assembly in place.

Not sure if pulling the grille would give you better access or not....


The bumper is very easy to remove.....even using handtools you will have it off a few minutes.

Yes pull the grille and you can get right at it. Five small bolts across the top and bottom held in with clips. Takes about three minutes.

Problem is, even if you can unbolt the fog light it is difficult to remove through the hole. I have had to take the fog light off the bracket to get it through the hole before. Sometimes it will squeeze through. No tricks to this one. It is what it is.

Question

Thank for all the responses
Aldridgec: You hit it right on the head. I took off the grille and that’s no help.
I can't get the fog light through the slot in the bumper so I’ll try taking the fog light off the bracket. Do you know if the clear lenses cover comes off the fog light as I tried taking the old one apart with no luck?
By the way I already replaced the bumper and grill because of a collision and didn't have the fog light I needed than.
Thanks
