    Are you trying to change bulbs or what..?

    "trying to get them off".... Leaves a lot to the imagination.

    OK... Just reach down from the front while hood is up... Just make sure your LED's are not too long....

    My first attempt would not work cuz the LED's were too long and would not seat.

    It's "you gotta do it by feel" kinda thing... but no Tupperware needs to be removed.

    I tried turning counterclockwise but there's a tab blocking it.

    Pull the wire harness off FIRST.. it's not long enough for you to turn the bulb.

    Hard to do "in the dark", but if you remove the wire connector first.... the bulb should turn OK..

    It's not easy, but it is possible...!! One-handed and blind..!!

    How did you get the harness off? Is there tabs to push?

    Just curious, what bulbs did you use? I've done some searches, and it seems everyone has his own opinion (go figure).

    It looks like you have a limited and I believe the fogs on the limited are different than the "wide angle" fogs on the sport and the OR, so you probably don't want the exact same bulbs that the OP went with, whatever they may be.

    When I changed mine I just took the 2 screws out from the wheel well liner, pulled it back a couple inches and stuck my hand inside and twisted the bulb right out
