Damn foglights!

OK. Have some time today to finally change thes puppy's out. Now I got the bottom plastic panel off and can reach the plug just fine. I can see it start to turn and it gets maybe 1/3 of the way and STOPs. I mean STOPS. I just spent 45 minutes trying to twist them off and I cant get them to budge either way more than a few milimeters.

Both sides do the same thing. ic an see the 3 flanges in front that need to move to get it out but they will not budge beyond a very small radius. Is there something I am missing?

Thanks.

You probably need to press them in, then turn. Haven't looked at mine, but that's usually the problem when a bulb wont budge.

Yeah, that's what I was going to suggest.

Yeah, push in a bit.

Also they will only turn one way and come out. As they get closer to the point of release, they get harder to turn.

I'll give it another go and try pushing a bit. I thought I tried that as well, but maybe I didnt push hard enough.

If you look in through the lens you can see the key-way, easiest way in up through the lower plastic couple off screws easy!
