The fog light goes in first, with a kind of ball fitting going into the socket nearest to the centre of the car, and with the retaining clip hooking onto the divider towards the outside of the car before the latch is closed over.

Then the indicator goes in, starting at the outside of the bumper and hinging in towards the centre.

There should be a stainless Z-shaped "spring" that goes in behind the indicator to keep it under tension against the clip in the top of the opening that the indicator latches onto. It's this clip that you press up to release the indicator.

I've had a look in the shed and found a pair of the balljoint clips and a single clip for the top of the indicator.

If you want these I'm open to offers because I don't know if I will ever get my bumper back.
