Dislodged 2021 model fog light cover

Recommended Posts

On a recent foggy day, I was driving down the motorway when I hit a bird. This was tragic for the bird, but also on my fairly new Toyota Yaris, the impact managed to dislodge one of the fog light covers from the bumper. See image.

The unit itself seems intact (as far as I can tell) and it's still connected and lights up. But well...

 

Is this a DIY job to put it back in? I can't figure out how to do this if so. The fog light thing seems to fit on from the back of the bumper...

If not, do I go to the dealership? Find a body shop? I have no idea who to talk to. It seems trivial so I'm hoping this isn't super expensive.

This is 10 minutes fix. Exactly the same thing happened to me. When I got home 2 hours later the dead bird was still lodged where the fog light should be and the light was sitting inside the bumper and the engine bay was covered in feathers. I removed the bird hoovered up the feathers drove to the Dealership and 10 minutes later got the car back with the fog light back in place and no charge by the dealer.
