MIA: Plastic fog light covers

To NON-foglight TSX owners:

Looked at the front end today, and my black fog light covers are missing. Dealer says someone stole them. Bullshit, I think they fell off. Dealer said they would be back ordered and cost $13.00. I told the dealer, "no thanks, you can give them to me for free. I just spent $26k on this 2 month old car.

Can someone look under their car and see how these things are attached? I'm guessing they snap in. I would do it myself, but without the covers, I'm helpless.

Check this foglight installation instructions on how to remove the foglight cover.

Looks like the cover just clips on to the bumper.

you don't need to remove the bumper, the cover is especially easy to remove in the warmer temp(soft plastic).. if you can put your hand in the lower grill area, reach in the felt (check with menu to practice then location). the cover will come off by gently bending the lever, i can remove each in less then 10 sec now after my own custom PIAA fog ligh install....
oh, but i did not stole yours,,

My Accord has similar covers in the bumper, I think they are for fog lights. Every couple years or so one or both covers go missing, I assume stolen. I replaced them 2 or 3 times then just gave up and left them open. I call them "brake cooling vents" now.

Trust me, I've done the foglight installation and the covers cannot just "fall off". It takes quite a bit to pull them out. My guess is someone yanked them.
