Owned by Depo Fog light?

5.5 gen: Had a cracked passenger side fog for a while, replaced with a Depo fog housing. Now I tried to remove it, and it will not budge. Anyone else have this problem?

What are depo fog lights and how much did it cost?
My driver's side fog light has been cracked since I bought the car and it bothers me. Is it just the replacement glass or the entire light? Also did you replace one side or both? If just one side how does it look compared to the OEM fog? Thanks.

They are a non-OEM manufacturer of parts. I bought a fog housing for around 50-60 shipped. Looks the same, except instead of where it says NISSAN on the glass, it says DEPO. You can get them from RockAuto.com. Didn't have a problem with them but they are kind of like replacement taillights in the sense that you should run a bead of sealant around them because they are not OEM sealed. For some reason, I can't remove mine. I think one of the bolts is binding with something else. I replaced one btw. I had a cracked one on my passenger side. Looks identical from a distance. Only diff is that logo.

Tried it man. I got to the point where I was trying to nudge the bolts out with the end of my ratchet. I couldn't get a hammer within the space, so I will have to do that next. It is REALLY in there.
