hi,
as you can see on the picture, i smashed my front fog light. I'm trying to find some informations on how to change it, but i mostly find informations on how to change the bulb and not the complete light.
Did someone already did it and could help me with it ?
At first sight, i would say that i should unclip the silver finisher from the outside but i can't find explanations on how to unclip it, and then follow a tutorial to unplug the bulb, so i can slide the complete light again, from the outside, and not through the inside like the bulb ?
I hope i'll find some clues ! I'm french and i'll do my best with english, but please, try to keep it as simple as possible
Thanks in advance !

All I can suggest is looking at YouTube videos.
I didn't try replacement myself.
(Isn't Google Translate wonderful!
Tout ce que je peux suggérer, c'est de regarder des vidéos YouTube.
Je n'ai pas essayé de remplacer moi-même.)

I tried Youtube, but i didnt find any convincing videos.
They often show the light once its out, but they dont show neither how to remove the light, not even the light silver protector...
Where should i slide the screwdriver ? how to not break the bumper with the screwdriver ?

I think the Fog Lamp is held by one bolt. You will have to take the wheel off and remove the large plastic under protector (clips and screws). That should expose the rear of the fog lamp and its wires.
REMOVAL
Remove front fender protector to make work space.
Disconnect front fog lamp harness connector.
Remove front fog lamp fixing bolt, and then remove front fog lamp.

I could change the light, thanks for your advices.
After removing the large plastic under protector and the wheel, i could access the clip from the silver protector, which were the most painful to remove
The total operation "costed" 25€ for the new light, and 45 min (had a friend who had the perfect tools tho : impact driver, and lift.
if someone needs more explanation, let me know !
