Is there a trick or tip to replacing 5202 fog lights?

[bolo1g2]

I've broken the clips on 2 sets of lights trying to get them to fit back in the housing. Is there a tip or trick or maybe a write up or pics to do it right? I'm out $50 from broken clips. Any help or info is appreciated.

squeeze them together and it pops out?

Fitting them back into the housings? You shouldn't have any issues, they just pop into place?

Yeah, putting them back. I bought some replacement ones and twice as I've tried to pop them back in the clips have broken. I need to buy another pair. I did not remove the bumper or anything, I just crawled under the car and have my arm up behind the light trying to push them back.

For anyone that hasn't done this and doesn't know how to get to the bulbs, the easiest way is to remove half of the plastic in the wheel well. Two 7mm bolts and some of those plastic clips. pull half way off and you get very easy access to the fog light bulbs to change. I did not know this and tried removing them from under the car. Way harder. Just pull the wheel well plastics.
