I would like to remove my lower grill. I'm looking to cut holes into it to install driving/foglights. It looks like it just snaps out.

Yes, give it a tug and it will come out. Remember, it is one piece and snaps in on both sides.

Thanks ARTTII. Appreciate the information. I want to put fogs in the lower grille without replacing the whole front fascia. I'm surprised the aftermarket doesn't offer anything. Thanks again.

3 tabs on each side..one on the top two on the bottom...push top tab up and slide top of lower grill out then pull up to release lower tabs.

Thanks guys, as soon as I get them mounted and wired I will get some pics on. Trying to decide which lights to use. I was thinking maybe something from the Ford family. Thinking I could make use of a easy connection. Maybe Ford still uses some of the same connections. I've been looking at trying the fogs from the Escort ZX2. Mounting brackets and wiring harnesses. If not something from PIAA.

Finally installed the foglights in my lower grill. I'm a little disappointed with the actual amount of light that is actually on the pavement. Not much at all. That's what I get for being cheap. The lights are PIAA Super White LED's. They were $115 from tirerack. Should have sprung for the $200 or more lights. I have some pics, but I'm not sure how to get them on. Can some one pass along some instructions?

For your low light issue, could it be they aren't aimed correctly? I would guess they should shine light about 20 or so feet in front of the car.
I used to use photobucket to upload all my pics, but have since switched to flickr several months ago and couldn't be happier. From there they give you ways to upload your file to the net.

It just snaps out. Post some pictures when you're done. I was about to do this but I'm just going to do a GT500 bumper.

I needed some fog lights too so I hired someone to strip them off of someone else car it worked for me. Just an idea.
