o you mean Fog light

Just use some blue tag and a stick ! if is broken inside the light housing
but if you mean how to take the bulb out .. you push in a little and twist the bulb not pull !

the bottom bit is factory built (light bulb factory) so you have to get another bulb with the "extension leg" as i could recall they r HB s'thing not every shop sell this.
