Default Fog light bulb replacment?

I'm just baffled by this....I know that the fog light housing should swivel out allowing access...but I just can't get it to happen? Its the fog on the left as you look at the car from the front [drivers side in UK]

I'm pressing on what seems to be the holding clip on the right side of the fog lamp but nothing happens..?

Anyone got step by step idiot proof instructions?

Well it depends now. I purchased a set of Depo fogs awhile back and noticed the plug on the back was at a different angle. SInce it was i could not put the light in while plugged in. I had th take off the palastic mud flap guard that allowed me access to the back of the fog light. I had to plug it in that way. Normal zkw light just pop out cause the wire adapter is straight out the depos come out then angle down.

There is only about 3-4 screws underneath the bumper where the foglight is,once removed you can get at it. This is my guess since it won't just pop out on you.

You have to kind of rotate the latch as well. Dig up the part diagram on realoem to see how it works.

FYI, the "side" of a car is always stated as relative to the driver. So, you're looking at the right side fog lamp. In this case, you'll need to rotate the handle of the screwdriver to your left (as you repair it), or driver's right.
