Replacing GTA front foglights - how?

As per the title, really. Yet again, we need to replace the front fogs after they took a hit from a stone; even the guy at the Alfa parts desk said "They [Alfa] do a good run on those..."
Is it an easy job? There's a panel at the front the wheel-arch liner that unscrews - am I right in thinking the foglight housing resides behind it? If so, is it just a case of remove cover/unscrew light housing/disconnect wiring/refit?
Cheers...

Hello scooterman, this is a fun job, on a standard 156 its simple however those perverts in milan have made it awkward on the gta. once you remove the cover on the wheelarch you will see one of your oil coolers which obscures one of the two screws, its a real b***h to get out, i had to hacksaw half of the handle from my longest screwdriver to get it, a thin flexible drive of some sort might help, if you have one, i did the job with my wheel off and liner completley removed (this was part because i was changing that too as my light and wheel arch liner were broken by bottoming out the car on a nasty dip on a back road, i've slowed down since for any such dips, its just too expensive) whether you can mange it with the liner still in place i dont know, but it wont be easy, good luck.
