Default Fog Light Issue

I need to replace the driver side fog light assembly on driver side US 2006 A6. I can't get that cover off. I can pop the tab on the left side of the cover nearest the center of the car but it doesn't come off the car. Something is really holding it on tight. I cannot figure what I'm missing. I've googled and read a dozen posts and none resolve the issue.

Need help, have wasted an hour trying now.

Default Mystery SOLVED

Ok, all the posts and mentions found via Google were not very clear. I did manage to solve it. Here's the real deal: With a screwdriver pop the left side tab and gently pull out the left side of the grill cover. (this is for driver side grill cover). Then there are 2 tabs hidden on the far right of the grill and in some cases if you pull the grill towards the middle they come out....they didn't in mine. So I gently inserted a flathead screwdriver between the bumber and grill cover and gently worked it. Eventually it popped out and revealed the easy to replace fog lamp assembly.
