Default How to remove front parking light

I want to change out the front parking/fog light lense 1995 model. There seems to be two 10mm bolts in an area under the bumper access flap but no way to get at them. Any ideas from those who have done this? thanks in advance

Those access flaps are for changing the bulb.
From what I've read here, to actually change the whole housing will require you to remove the front bumper.

The front bumper cover does have to come off. Lots of small screws and nuts.

The park/fog lamp units are a sealed assembly. The lenses are glued to the shell. I don't think you can even buy separate lenses.

I don't know if they are similar but I just replaced both of mine in my '85, it takes less than an hour to remove the nose. No hidden bolts but get some masking tape and put it on the edge of the nose where it meets the hood and put a couple of strips all the way across the hood. This will keep the paint safe from nicks or scratches from the wrench.

Yes, you can buy the lenses seperate! In fact, I have a set in the garage that will go on my car soon. I just need to figure out what type of glue to use...
