notes from DIY fog light replacement

Changed Tomtar's right fog light today. It is a reasonable DIY job, but you need to be comfortable with lying with your head under the car and doing some of the job by feel.
By taking a look at the replacement light, you can get a pretty good idea of how the part is installed: there are three screws and one nut to undo, then it slides straight back and out.
You'll need a 10(*) mm wrench to undo the three screws, a 10 mm socket (preferably a deep one) on a long extension, and a slotted screwdriver (any size) to push back the catch on the plug. I also ended up loosening the cover underneath (that count as a skidplate?) with a T25 Torx driver (total of 8 screws) to get a better look at the nut on the top medial (closer to the centerline of the car). That may not have been necessary, but it was the easiest part of the job.
Total time perhaps a half hour, not counting time going back to my workbench to get some more tools.
*--I'm now forgetting whether it was a 9 or a 10 (sorry).
