Urgent help replacing fog/high bulb

I was switching back to my all seasons this weekend and though it was a perfect time to replace the stock fog / high beam with some after market ones. After a lot of messing around I finally get the bulb out and replaced it but now I can't figure how to get the stupid spring retaining clippy thing back on. I didn't get a good look at it when I was taking it out because of the awkward positioning. Please help.

I changed out my stock fogs today as well, the second time around so it was a bit easier.........if you take a look inside the housing where the bulb fits, you will see on either side (at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock) two small grooves that the spring clip fits into to keep the bulb tight against the housing mount.
You need to squeeze the clip, one side at a time or together, and work it into the slot. You will know when its secure......the bulb won't wiggle or move any longer.

I hope this helps.....and I was going to take pics for a DYI but I got lazy and loosing the light of day.

i just changed my fog lights today too.
It might help if you unscrew a little bolt
at the bottom that hold the clip then pull
it down and put your light in.

most convient way is to remove the underside panels. but if your hands are the size of a pencil then you can mange to get thru from the hood.
