[QUOTE=axl911;2388422]Help. I already searched the forum, but can't find the answer.

I removed the half moon cover on one side of the fog light. Then removed the bumper guard on the other side. I then removed the 2 screws on both sides of the fog light, but the fog light won't come loose.

I need to replace the fog light bulb. What do I need to do next? The front part is not budging from the metal shell …….

Porsche sells these as a unit and they glue them for a water tight seal.
I was able to pry mine apart with gentle heat from a heat gun. Some advise putting it in an oven at 120 C for 5 minutes to soften the glue

They are not glued together! How would you change a bulb? Use a flat screwdriver or plastic trim tool to break the 30 plus years of shyte that is holding that together, you have undone the 2 screws that hold it together.

I quickly looked up the replacement - and then had a mini stroke 650$ ….. I will have to be very soft on my approach / I would not wish to spend 1200$ + on my own poor learning skills lol or experimentation Thank you thank you all for your direction

It may not be glue, but it sure turned into glue and was almost impossible to separate. At least that was my experience. See photo.
