Default how do blobeye sti foglight covers come out?

rather than doing my usual of missing the one clip that's holding something on and then breaking it i thought i'd do a bit of homework.

so are there any more clips than in this pic? (stolen pic off ebay)


and do you just slide a thin blade/screwdriver in and push the clips up/down to release them?

any advice much appreciated
cheers, Paul

Easy job and takes seconds. Use a flat bladed screwdriver or similar and gently prise out the bottom or top then get you fingers in behind. Pop the innermost part off first (nearest the grille) then work your way back the other side. The long clip bit you see will be the last bit to pop out, give it a gentle wiggle up and down whilst pulling and there you go. Easy.

I must be a caveman, i just gripped the inlet bit on the front and pulled. Worked a treat, they're very flexible.
