Isn't the lens in the bumper just a reflector with the rear fog light actually being up in the light cluster on the side of the tailgate?

Guide here could have been written by Topbloke! tinyurl.com/odae6y
Typically the 4 fasteners inside the boot are star type not normal bolts so you'll need some with the correct tips before you start.
