Anyone know the way to remove and replace my fog light bulbs on my 2000 Fleetwood south wind. Bulb is a Par36 sealed beam. Trying not to break anything.

Should be a metal snap ring that squeeze together. May have to turn the bulb 1/4 turn to take out.

Sometimes to keep from breaking.. use penetration oil.. make sure power off.. then thin nose needle nose pliers to gently pry off.. other times.. use wire cutters.. and reach in there and just get a grip on stud.. and pry connection off.. last resort you have to just bite the bullet and cut wires where you can easily splice and get bulb to bench to pry off.. sometimes you just got to take connection into auto parts store and get new one.. good luck and let us know what you did and maybe better members then me will help you

Thanks all for your inputs.
As it turns out my fog light assemblies are removed by unscrewing a 3/4 nut off a hollow stud and slide the assembly forward. It appears the previous owner had done so as evidenced by wire butt splices. The bulb which is a Par36 seal beam is encased in a tight rubber assembly. Removal of the bulb from rubber was achieved by using two non metallic pry bars until one half popped off. Reinstalling was easier as the new bulb pops right back into the rubber assembly. Btw I replaced then with LED’s. Headlight are next.
