Fog light lens repair - was Lens Removal

[Fender Bender]

After hitting a pair of deer at the same time, I lost both fog lights as well as a fender, hood, bumper cover and both headlights. I decided to have a go at fixing the fog lights which had the reflector flopping around inside the light housing. One was simple, I was able to snap the lens back into its proper position between the adjuster post and the pair of plastic prongs holding the other pivot point.

To repair the broken one I was about to cut a hole in the housing after trying to remove the lens with no luck. Lens is fixed tight, and after investigation, it would not have helped much in fixing the broken prong. What I decided to do was drill a hole right in line with lens pivot point on the broken prong side of the housing. Here are some photos and description of what I did to save $77 on a used fog light.
