05 S Fog Lights

So, I can access my fog lights via popping the hood. So when I do so, I can access my directional bulb, and my fog light bulb, which are both part of the same assembly under my headlights. The problem is, I can twist out the amber blinking bulb, But i CAN"T change the bulb that is actually used by flicking on my fog lights. I don't know what to do! I can't seem to twist or pop out that fog bulb. According the the pictures, it's the bulb on the Left side. The right side (white assembly) is my amber directional bulb. Can anyone help!? I don't really want to purchase 2 brand new fog light assembly's.

Those are not the fog lights. They are turn and parking lights, which are accessed by opening the hood. The fog lights are near the bottom of the bumper and not easy to change. They can be accessed by removing the wheel well liner (some people prefer to remove the bumper). See this thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...lbs-03-mc.html

Well, for some reason, when I turn on the Fog's, those turn on. Either way, both of the bulbs are now out. I guess then that I must not have traditional fogs, because at the bottom of my bumper, I have 2 fake air vents in the holes where fogs would normally go. So, regardless, i need to figure out how to swap out the bulbs if anyone knows. Thanks! *Side Note, it's weird that they turn on and act as fogs i think...

I Appreciate all the help guys, i've gotten some PM's from people. I did a little bit more research after I got some terminology from you guys, and found this.

More or less, I just wasn't turning hard enough....even though the cuts in my hand beg to differ. Thanks Guys.
