Default Fog light bulbs

I tried to remove and change fog bulbs. I could reach the bulb and turn it 90 but it wouldn't pull out. I was afraid to pull to hard on the 26 yo plastic holder. I'm going to try again tomorrow but this time only turn 45. Maybe that will work. I saw a post that said to wiggle it slowly, I'll try that also. I want to change turn signal bulbs also, probably will have the same issues.

I changed my fogs out last year on my 88 and pulling the passenger side out with my left hand (I'm right handed) was a challenge. If I remember correctly I pulled gently as I turned. The bulb is attached to a long stem connector. If you still have problems and need to get closer to the connector, you can always remove the big fat front tires so you can get a better angle and grip. Just a thought.

ThanX,,, I also removed the air cleaner housing and found there is much more room then. I then could actually see what my hand was doing by laying across the engine.
