Fog lamp bulb replacement

This may be a stupid question, but how does the bulb come out of the fog lamp housing?? I had a bulb burnout and disassembled the fog lamp to the point of twisting open the black housing on the back. What's next to get to the bulb? I see what looks like some sort of metal retaining "spring" (twisted paperclip is more like it!).

Also, what's the stock replacement bulb number for a foglamp?

Thanks in advance for your help to this silly question! The manual has a bit to be desired when it comes to detailed instructions!

You just kind of push that paper clip thing down and move it over like a safety pin works. Then, there will be this wrap around where the bulb connects to the harness. I had to kind of rip mine, because it was on there so tight. Make sure you don't touch the bulb with your hands. I don't know what it does, but it is supposed to make your bulb not last quite so long. just plug it back in there, pull the wrap back over it as best as you can, and re-trace your steps of taking it apart. Not too difficult.

**Make sure that when you screw it back into bumper, it is aimed correctly. You don't want one aiming too high and one too low. You can kind of adjust this a little when you are screwing back in. Just hold it a little more up or down as it needs.

let us know how it goes.
