Aviator fog lights

I have been trying to replace the fog light bulbs in my Aviator and I cant seem to get the old bulbs out. I have gone from under the bumper fascia trying to turn the bulbs to pull them out, but the damn things just wont move. Is there some kind of secret to getting them out? Appreciate any help. Thanks

There may be a bunch of crap on there preventing them from turning. You might try spraying them with WD-40 or something similar and see if that loosens them up.

I thought I read you have to unplug them first to rotate them on this or the lincoln forums, but I can't seem to find the thread. Haven't had to change mine yet.
