2008 MDX Fog Light issue

I jus recently changed my DRL both sides with no problem the 9005 came out no problem very easy install. Then attempted to change fog lights... The H11 plug is very hard to remove in order to take the bulb out , is there something I need to do being it's hard to see what I'm doing so I'm possibly missing the clips ? Could someone HELP please!! Pics step by step would be a real help

Thanks !

If the bulb is stuck then you will have to remove the fog assembly in order to remove the bulbs or you risk breaking the bulb socket which will make it way harder to remove....
When you are replacing them make sure to use a dip of silicon grease in the boot so it does not get stuck in future replacements.

Don't try to unplug the connector from the blub first, just rotate the whole plug/bulb and pull it out. Then you can see & reach the plug release clip.

Well I got the foglights in. The plug was stuck and had like a crust in it so I cleaned and out dielectric grease in all of them so next time this issue won't happen, this issue will happen if you don't apply some grease to them . Thank you all for your suggestions and help it was much appreciated.
