2009 Fog light help

My HHR was built with fog light , apparently the front bumper was replaced and has one vent looking cover ... I want to go get a set of fogs to add back on but looking in the opening I see no wire or bulb socket inside. Where does the actual fog lamp wiring or pigtail connect so I can check? I can see the wiring going to the marker light but not seeing anything else unless I am looking in the wrong spot (wheel well area ) ??? thanks for any help and pictures would be great as youtube doesnt show anything either.

Some information look around , remove the plastic fender liners, pull the front bumper cover.

I reached up and think I found a plug so apparently I will need that pigtail for the bulb socket also... Hopefully the salvage yard still has all those HHRs sitting around... Just not looking forward to the rain but guess I have to suffer a bit to prevail !

anything special to get or tips when pulling? Mine is missing everything as far as the fog lights and any adjustment stuff. What tools will I need to have on hand ( I dont want to lug a full box, just a pocket full.

shouldn't be a socket, looks like the bulb plugs right into the harness

Is there a plastic bracket the fog light attaches to as it seems the adjuster is attached to something in the videos or does the fog light attach to the bumper cover? since mine are missing Im not sure since there is no clear video or directions in the manuals . Thanks

doesn't look like it, GM's pretty good about showing everything in their diagrams (one of the reasons I like their catalog)... that's all it shows with the fog lamp
