Front fog light removal for aero kit install?

I'm installing the aero kit front bumper and I got stuck at the removal of the front fog lights. The screws holding them in come from the engine side and I can't figure out how to get them out. Anyone have any tips?

You have to remove the plastic inner fender liner to access the fog light hardware. There are three or four screws and about seven 'pushpins' that look like large phillips head screws made of plastic. Look closely and you will see a ring surrounding the 'screw head'. There is a small notch in there. Push the blade of a small flat screwdriver into the slot while unscrewing the head. Once the pin is unscrewed and removed, pry out the outer pin piece. There is a screw under the air dam and one under the rocker panel as well as the few visible in the wheelwell.

Depending on if you are adding the aero kit to a MC, you might have to 'relocate' the lights to the position used on a MCS. Torx screws hold the lights in, and clip nuts are used on the mounting frame.

Thanks Twister & Greatbear. I'll check if I even need to mess with the fogs...probably not since mine is a 2004 MCS like Twister.
