I didnt install the fogs, cuz I wasnt sure how to.

Read this, and immediately went out and did it.

Was a 10min job.

Great How To! and it was so simple to turn the knob to release the fogs (unlike the headlights which take a little effort)

I just went with PIAA X-treme White Plus bulbs for the heads and fogs. Hate the yellow and I wanted them to match. Gotta say, it is insanely bright.

Because you have a yellow car you pulled it off nicely.

I changed them today, just a FYI

on the 2.4's on the left side the access to the fog is blocked by the resonator so you have to go from the fender, the other side is fine though, and it's much easier from above than from the fender IMO!

good how to!

i found out another way for everyone to do this but u gotta have somewhat skinny arms like i do, go into your lower grill location lift up the plastic inside and then go underneath that reach in twist the bulb out and then bring it out where u r and then change them, i did it no problem just gotta figure out where the bulb goes back after, soon im doing HID's 3000K in my fogs, and im ordering new headlight HID's

I got to step 5 and didnt know wtf i was looking at. I have a TC and started on the driver side. It was kinda tight to reach down in there. That whole big housing twists to take bulb out? or do I have to twist that harness in the back? I tried moving **** and saw there was a little metal pole sticking out and was like..umm, what the hell is going on. And becasue of the tight space I figured id ask for more elaboration on step 5 b4 I just start twisting ****.

Take the splashguard out underneath... 100x easier. You don't even have to pull it all the way out, just take out a few bolts until you are able to pull it back and take out the bulb.

Hmm, I just came across this thread. I changed mine from underneath the car. 3 little bolts on each side underneath the fogs, and you can pry out the little splash guard. Took me 2 minutes a side. But the headlight thing would work too if you can't get underneath.

you are retarded if you take your headlights out to change a fog light.. the fender well is 3 8 mm bolts on each side, no jacking the car up. When you need to get to it just turn the wheel in whichever direction you need to get access to it... Took me seven and one half minutes to do both
