how to

How do you get them out to replace:wtf: I do not want to rip out my car doing so and just want to be on the safe side-(bluep5)

Undo the plastic brush/mud guards on the bottom of the bumper. Pull it down and there'll be a 14mm(I think) bolt on the back of the foglight. You may have to use quite a bit of penetrating oil to get it loose but they will come off.

Thanks t3ease! Since I got my HIDs, my fogs look pretty weak. With Spicy's GB ending, I'm sure that post will come in handy for a lot of people soon. (rockon)

One thing to add on replacement of bulbs is that there are two screws that need to be taken off the foglight to get to the bulb. Once you have those off you can have easy access to get to the bulbs.
