I needed to adjust the drivers side fog light on my nissan march (micra)
I changed it out last year as old one was broken but couldn't get the correct one, just a near enough. Was picked up as an advisory last wof as was set too far back. I had fitted it with the minimum of dismantling and couldn't adjust it properly.
To get to it the front bumper assembly, wheel arch inserts and wheels had to come off.
Figured that while I was at it I would try to remove the 2 dents (one from a bird, one from a cat)

The dents were reduced by pouring a kettle of boiling water over them then punching them out by hand, then a bit of cold water to "set" them.
Not perfect but a lot better than they were
Replacement was the reverse of removal (as Mr Haynes always says)
There were a few of the plastic "rivets" missing, so where accessible I replaced with nyloc nuts and bolts and then used the plastic fasteners on the less accessible bits
Took about 2 hours, including watching the youtube video showing me the sequence.
