For the life of me I can't get the main reflector out. I've turned the aiming **** couterlcock-wise and the thing just won't come out. I am sure there is a ball joint somewhere, but can't figure out how to pop it out. Any ideas?

I have...there are 2 ball-joint like holders in the middle of the housing (where the fog and cornering light meet). One on top and one on the bottom. I accidently broke the reflector trying to pry it out in one piece....Actually broke it in half, but after reassembling and intallation you cant even tell. Just be super careful...Sorry I couldnt be of much help though.

Thanks nycspudz03, here is the the how-to for taking apart an A33 fog light:

After you bake the fog, and take off the lens, you will get this:



And a backshot:



You can see from this pic there are two ball-joints at the bottom:



Now you need to first turn the aiming **** counterclock-wise until the reflector is allllll the way down, and then take a screw driver, put it against the back of the reflector at where approx. where the ball joint is, and then tap it with a hammer. Then the whole reflector will pop out.

I have found a really big hammer works just fine, you just may need some duct tape and super glue to put it all back together.
