Default Replacing fog light bulbs?

Ugh. Any help here? Searched all over, but can't find an actual how-to thread on this on the site. I've cranked the wheel over, opened the access door, and can easily reach in to access the bulb assembly -- now what? I can unplug the light no problem, but am working blind so I'm not sure how to proceed with pulling the bulb.

Is there anything there to unscrew, clips, etc.? Do I need to turn the bulb clockwise or counter-clockwise before pulling it out? There's a lot of resistance, and I don't want to break anything. There isn't anything in the manual about pulling the fogs, either, although I'm kind of assuming the process is the same with the parking lights, with turning counter-clockwise. Again, would love someone to confirm this, as I don't want to wind up breaking anything. I already almost backed the car over my glasses in the driveway...;-)

Headlights were easy, fogs more annoying. Usually seems to be the other way around, so this is surprising.

Thanks for reading!

Turn the bulb counter-clockwise ~45 degrees. It will stop at that point and you can then pull it out.

Thanks a lot. Just wanted to be absolutely sure before I start applying pressure, as they seem pretty tight in there.
