Default Fog Lamp Replacement

Hello all. This is my first message post on the Forum. I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 QC, 4x4, 5.9L. One of my stock fog lamps burnt out and I am having quite a difficult time trying to remove the bulb. I am starting to think that I might have to replace the whole unit. Does anyone know how to remove the bulb, or will I have to replace the whole thing? Any inputs would be appreciated. Thanks.

i think i have aftermarket fog lights on my truck but im not sure.. they are circular like the factory ones but are kinda yellowish, like they put out a yellow light. i tried replacing the bulb but couldnt. i cant twist it out, theres 2 screws in the back, i took those out and pulled the bulb and wires out. but the bulb is like soldered to the wires [:@] so does this mean i have to buy a whole new set of fog lights??????

I just reached behind the bumper and disconnected it. I think mine was a 896 or something I'm not sure but something like that it wasn't the 893 I thought it was supposed to be. I went to get some higher wattage ones and Fishers had some but wanted $40 for them. They were Wagner's. For that price I decided to go pick up the stock one for $8.
