Default Stupid Light Question

I finally got around to cleaning out the garage(or least starting to) and found some fog lights that I had.

Question is: does anybody know how I'm supposed to get the bulb out? I know it's shot, and once it's out, I can determine which bulb to get as a replacement.
Here are views from both sides:

and

I can provide bigger pics if needed, just didn't want to have them blow up on anyone's screen.

Thanks in advance.

Steve

You already have the bulb out

When you go to the store to get a replacement, it'll look exactly like that with the small pigtail on it since that whose assembly is te bulb. Someone will have to hop in with the bulb number, I can't remember it off the top of my head.

The bulb number is engraved on the bottom I believe. The ones from my 89 have a few things engraved, so I don't know exactly what number is the one for the bulb type. I wish I could put my stock fogs back on, but they rusted out, so I only have parts now.

Your local auto parts store should be able to find out the number.

Correct!.
You just buy the complete set up like you have in the pict. I'm not sure what the part number is. But. if it's a standard fog light it will be a 55watt.
BTW, When you get the new bulbs DO NOT touch the glass part of the bulb. The oils in you skin will cause the bulb to fail prematurely.

Thanks guys. I started looking at some online the last few minutes. Thinking I might get some super bright LED replacements. I plan on putting these up on my roof rack. I have other lights going down front.

Thanks guys. I found some bulbs online, just trying to find 1 stop shopping for a bunch of LED's for around the Jeep.

I just remembered that I pulled these Rally's off a pre-97 at the local vineyard, maybe I'll go look for more tomorrow. They have the same bulbs.
