How Hard is it to Remove the Plastic honey comb Foglight Piece?
I don't have a picture but you have to remove the fog light assembly first. 2 nuts on the inside edge and a bolt on the outside edge. after removing the light press the 2 little clips and it should slide out.
Goodluck
its definiteltly those that one bolt off to the side and the spring things holding in the fog light. i bet its a compress the spring and turn 90 degrees to release or something like that. thats what i would try. then worry about the plastic part
yeah, it really looks like you would have to undo that one bolt and those plastic studs. which sucks, i wouldnt want to break those either. i know someone just masked them off, if your up for the work.
im assuming you want to paint it

yeah.. i never touch the top i always use the the back side so should look good cause i am painting to colour match (the handles and mirrors) then black for the fogs and bumper piece
There are three parts holding the foglight onto the honeycomb, two are those flimsy metal nuts on the plastic posts (right side), and one bolt (left side).
Just get the right sockets to remove the nuts and bolt, and you will have your foglight out. The bolt with the spring on it is the adjuster for the light. If I remember correctly, that does not have to be removed to get the fog light out of the honeycomb.
I have no idea how to get the honey comb out after that. You may just have to paint them while they're in the bumper. Blue painter's tape and an exacto knife should do just fine.
