Default Front driving lite

Need a little help here guys. Got an 07 Z51 was messing around with some driving lite covers and pushed a little to hard i think. The passenger side drive lite moved away from the front bumper on the side closest to the door about 1- 1.5 inches not having a repair manual how do u get behind it to push it back in place and what holds it there?
I there has to be away to do it without pulling off the entire bumper since i doubt u have to do all that to replace a lite bulb.

thanks all

Are you talking about the fog lights (lower rectangular) or the large headlight assembly?

They should not just pop in, no matter how hard you push….. unless

Sounds like your car must have had some prior damage, but some tape or a good suction cup (repurpose a windshield nav suction cup ) to pull it forward, and a bit of adhesive should do the trick to fix it back in place.

To access the back of the driving light, remove your wheel (or turn the steering wheel so that the front of the tire goes inward) and remove the access panel at the front of the wheel well. You will see push pins, remove the center of the pin and pop the pin out. Hopefully you will see the problem
