Anyone have trouble removing their fog lights??

I have a 2k3 and have been following the instructions @ http://www.moodym.com/maxima/tech/foglight.html.

I have both nuts removed and it is not coming out (tried banging on the bolts from behind with a hammer). Only thing I can think of is the fact that it is 30 degrees out, other than that I am stumped. Any Ideas?

Thanks for the assistance. The passenger side fog came out no problem. Still trying to convince the drivers side to come out

Well, not sure what happened but it appears that the fog light house part of the bumper has melted? Maybe from when the bulb burned out? I am clueless as to how to go about fixing that since in seems the fog assembly and bumper are fuzed together some how.

Well, I got one side done, and as a result of smacking the living Sh*t out of the drivers side fog assembly the light came back on lol. Anyone in NoVA with a shop want to lend a hand?

The fogs are the umnitza HID's and they are supposed to be 4300k. I Think they look more like 5000-6000k as I wanted them to match the color of the factory HID head lights. Could be that my factory bulbs are on there way out and starting to dim though.
