Help with installing new xenon fog light bulbs?

ok i've bought the bulbs they seem to be the right ones (xenon white/blu) but when i get as far ass pulling the actual bulb and connector from the connector wire, the bulb doesnt seem to budge or wanna get out for replacing the damn slut! it seems like the bulb is stuck or glued to the actual connector... am i missing something or do i have to buy a different connector ass well?

I've also tried reading the manual and it says to turn the bulb anti-clockwise a bit and it should come out but it doesnt...

any help much appreciated!!!

you have to twist the bulb/holder, you cant just yank it out.

I just did it think weekend and if I remember correctly you turn towards the center of the car. I replaced with hyper yellow bulbs though...

Question

ok this is wat i've done so far...

i've removed the bolts and cover the get to the wire/fog light from underneath the car..

I've semi twisted the bulb and wire/holder from the actual fog light console itself to get it out and am looking at it right now away from the car... wat i've got in my hand is the actual bulb and bulb holder which connects to the wire...

But the bulb does'nt twist, budge or move from the bulb holder...Is this thing 1 piece or 2 piece?

Do i have to replace the whole damn thing (bulb and holder)..? anyone else have this same prob??

My car is the aussie version Honda Euro...

Im about to go insane!!!
