Question 05 WRX Fog Cover Fitting?

Hi chaps,

Got myself a blobeye wrx (05) and im planning on buying the genuine impreza fog covers (from scoobyworld) tomorrow... before i commit to buying these i want to know how easy they are to fit?

Im guessing i need to remove the current fog surrounds? and im also guessing i need to fit a screwdriver (?) into the little hole at the side of the assembly to somehow remove it?

If anyone has a piccy / guide to remove the standard surround that would be amazing!

Cheers guys!
Will

very easy mate, wrap a cloth round the srewdriver and gently lever them off. then just slide the outside tab of the foglight cover into the slot and push on job done
