Hi guys,

Passenger side fog light is out. Looked in the manual and it says I should turn the socket counter-clockwise and it should basically pop out. It won't budge in either direction. Is there some other release or something else I need to be doing ?

I did a search for some pics or a write up but didn't quite see what I need from all the threads. Would it be easy to remove the whole assembly and then try ?

Thanks
 
Just did mine yesterday and they were pretty stuck from dust and stuff. They were hard to turn in the socket and hard to pull out once the tabs were lined up. Unplugging the connectors was the hardest part. Essentially, there are 3 tabs that need to be rotated in the socket to line up. Then you pull the light straight back and out of the socket. Once out of the socket there is a tab on the connector that you need to depress so that you can unplug the light. I wiggled the light back and forth and it slowly came loose from the connector.
 
They're plastic so should clean up fine with one of those polish kits. Just noticed that mine have a lot of condensation and a bit of water in them. Going to have to find the thread about sealing them...
