Fog light assembly headache

Got a busted fog light on my 2019 Jeep Renegade thanks to an unlucky highway rock. Swapped the bulb with no issue, but the full assembly is another story. First screw was easy, but the second one is hidden behind the washer tank, and there's no easy way around it. Anyone have a trick for this?

Yeah, Jeep really buried that one screw. I used a flex ratchet with a wobble extension, I suggest you can try that. Honestly, it is still a pain, but it got the job done without yanking the whole bumper. Just patience, mate. And a lot of cursing.
 
That tip about the flex ratchet with a wobble extension was the magic bullet. It was still a tough reach and I had to walk away for a minute so I wouldn't lose my cool but it worked! I got the old assembly out and the new 1 in without having to remove the entire bumper. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction, you really saved my bacon @Don't Wanna Go Home
 
That second fog light screw behind the washer tank is suhc a pain. A common trick is to slightly loosen or tilt the washer reservoir enough to get a long screwdriver or flexible extension in there , which usually gives just enough room to reach the screw without removing the whole tank.
