Default Foglight removal help???

Hey, I've got an '04, and one of my foglights burned out. I know how to remove the bulb, but its siezed into place somehow. Are there any suggestions on how to get it out? Its one of the 3-prong ones that ya twist into place.
Boy this is frustrating, lol....

It wont twist at all. I've tried wiggling it back and forth with no luck, and the other one comes out fine, so I know I'm doing the right thing. Thanks for the help dude, hopefully you can get some tech advice, lol.

i ran into a problem like this with my RT...my issue was that the stupid harness was so short, it wouldnt allow the unit to turn, because of the tension of the wires.

I've already taken off the wiring harness, thats not the issue. Something inside is siezed in...my only choice may be to take the whole assembly out, but I dont wanna do that......

take it to a dealership...

do not take that the wrong way but whilst my GM ws under warranty they replaced two or three bulbs for me. Do not know if Mopar is different but you can probably guilt them into it

Well I feel like a dumbass, took it to the dealership, they sent a tech out to the parking lot, and he tugged on it for about 30 seconds, and I heard a crack sound (it busting loose), and he handed me the bulb. I told him I was afraid of breaking the assembly, and he said "Sure, take it to Dodge...if they break it, let the service department pay for it." [sm=exactly.gif]We slapped the new one in, and I was on my way. I dont know why it was so tight, he said he had never seen one in so tight before either. Anywho, I went to walmart to get some bulb grease, took them out (both sides), and lubed them up, and they popped right back in. Glad that little PITA is over, lol.
