How To: Change Fog Light Bulbs
I searched and found no How To, to changing the fog light bulbs so i decided why not and make one, in this procedure i was changing my old Nokya Artic Whites for Luminics JDM Yellow.
1) Get all your supplys and tools, which are, 10mm socket, extension, rachet, flat head screw driver, and the light bulbs of course, oo cant forget the phone if some girls call!!!
2) Remove the 2 10mm bolts holding the headlight in and also the pushclip holding the top of the bumper to the grill. It might be hard to see in the pic but i circled the bolts and pushclip you need to remove.
3) Grab the side nearest to the fender and wiggle out the headlight, if needed pull up the grill or pull the top of the front bumper out to get the headlight out.
4) Put the headlight aside or on top of the motor, if you put it ontop of the motor DONT START IT!!!
5) The fog light is then visible down under, as seen in the picture, twist the bulb from the fog light and bring it up to take it off the wire.
6) Open the 2 clips on either side of the harness and light, heres the change from the artic whites to the jdm yellows.
7) Put the bulb back and put the headlight and pushclip and the bolts all back and voila you got yourself some new fog light bulbs!!! Heres some Before and After Pics, the left of the car being before and the right being after.
and a close up of the Fogs with the JDM Yellow

nice how to! I still have to change mine out, but I failed at changing regular bulbs cause I couldn't turn the black retainer thing/ didn't know what was supposed to turn when I tried.
maybe I'll have less problems with the fogs!

Nice how to! I did the same thing when changing my fogs, plus I put the same yellow ones in. I had yellow overlays on the fogs of my Matrix before and they are GREAT in the **** weather we get here in the winter. So this time I went with the yellow bulbs instead. A lot easier in my opinion.

The fog light bulbs are H11, I bought me some NOKYA 9007 (http://www.tntautosport.com/index.ph...roducts_id=126) as well as some of the H11's (if your interested, call me to place the order).
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)
