Take your headlight out. Also take the piece of plastic underneith it out (Like 4 bolts) then you can reach down and replace them that way. Very easy and doesnt require you to get under your car. I replaced mine this way.

H11's are fogs, I bought a 4500K pure white kit off ebay for 10 bucks.

Both fogs and headlights are simple as hell. you just tiwst the bulb holder 90 degrees and pull it out, pop in the new bulb, put it back in the socket and twist 90 degrees in the oposite direction, end of story.

It'd be easier to pull out the inner fender well and get them from there... taking the headlights out is such a pain in the ass.

vs about 2 minutes to pull the inner fender well out of the way.

Just giving my opinion... pulling my headlights out was a pain... plus if you go through the bottom it's just like 4 screws...

I don't know man, It only took me like a 2 minutes to get my headlights out (seriously) and when we put an injen intake on my friends 2.4 it took like 15 minutes to get the inner fender out.

I wanted to change m y headlight bulbs but in order to twist them out you have to unscrew some **** as I don't think anybody could reach there hands down there to get it. Easier way?

just installed the fog lights!..(2500k) the 2.2 is such a pain to reach the passenger side bulb coz the intake thing is right above it!



headlight and foglights are both Nokya bulbs, they are 7000k and 2500k. Looks really good in person
