Anyone know what this is for?
While changing my front fog light bulb, I came across this and don't know what it is for? I'm sure there are lots of things on this car that I don't know what they do, but thought I would find out.
It sits behind the front license plate on the left-hand side looking at the car.

And while we're on the subject...
Funny I was wondering about that thing just yesterday as I was trying to figure out how to pull my right side fog lamp lens forward just a bit as it's not resting in front of the ridges on the lower bumper.
So how do I get my fog lamp lens/cover pulled slightly forward so it sits properly and looks right. And how do you get at the bulbs to replace them anyway?! Do I need to enlist a small person to reach in there, or is there a trick that I need to know?
Thanks,

Almostthere,
You can try finding a small person, but that whole assembly easily came out for me after removing the two torx screws. Once I had it out, it was a matter of unplugging it, swapping out the fog light, and reinstalling. I was surprised at how easy the whole thing was. It probably took me about 5 minutes after I figured out how to remove that cover right next to the fog light.

It's funny because I was doing the same thing about two weeks ago. I was worried I'd damage it. Then I saw the small slot in the top middle of the panel. When I slid a flat-edged screw driver into that slot and applied some pressure, it popped right out. It's actually sort of hinged on the bottom.
