PIAA Fog Lights

[FueledbyStriker]

I picked up a set of PIAA H11, HB3, and HB4 lights in XTREME White. Installing the High and Low beam was a piece of cake, but when I got to installing the Fog light, the wheel well covers the Fog light harness completely. What would be the best way for replacing the Fog light bulbs?

Raising the car up and removing the wind deflector to reach in to the Fog lights, or removing the wheel well and gaining access like that? If you could also provide any PDF you may have to help me out, that would be greatly appreciated.

So far the only Fog light related PDF's I was able to find were in regards to wiring Fog light on a GS model.

For those interested in the PIAA bulbs I can post picture of what I bought.

Addition:

When I say wind deflector, I mean the plastic under the front bumper.

And wheel well.

Remove the mud guard under the front end per page 4 of attached pdf. You don't need to remove anything else since these instructions pertain to installing fog lights not bulbs.

Thank you Jerry

What your saying is remove the "Front under cover B" and I can reach the fog light bulbs that way?

 

[jk240sx]

yup. A fastener and bolt underneath and a screw in the wheel well. The same picture is in the owners manual for fog light bulb replacement.

So what did you actually replace? was it just the bulbs, or was it the entire assembly? I am interested in enhancing the light output of the fogs I just installed.

I replaced the fog light bulbs, as well as the head light high and low beam bulbs. I have a GS AWD so the bulbs are simply halogen.

Sorry for the long delay in reply.

The drivers side fog light bulb was replaced. The car is on a jack up, so if your wondering. The easies way to get to the bulbs was from underneath. Hope this helps anyone else when wanting to replace their bulbs.

The bulbs are

Model numbers are

Fog lights - HB4

High beam - HB3

Low beam - H11

I am gonna try the HIR bulbs (H11 - Low Beams, 9011 - high beams, 9012 for fogs.)

BTW, are you saying you did all your bulbs from the bottom of just the fogs?

Do you mean Bulb H4 (Twin Pack15224)? There is no HB4 on that page.

Thanks

Only the fog light are to be replaced from the bottom. The rest are easily accessible from under the hood. Might need to unscrew the washer fluid tub to access the passenger side bulbs, thats what I did.

Good thing I keep the boxes from the PIAA bulbs, I use them to house my OEM bulbs, in case one decides to burn out I always have the OEM to replace in the mean time. Heres what I bought

I ended up getting:
OSRAM H11s Low Beams
P9011s - High Beams
P9012s - Fogs

 

[sts7049]

cool - these are drop in replacements too right?

 

[FueledbyStriker]

@nuru

Mind posting pics once your done?

@sts7049

Yup drop in, no extra wiring or anything, not like the HID conversion.

 

[nuru]

No problem, I will do post pics. The 9011 and 9012's require a slight mod of one of the tabs.

 

[nuru]

Ok, OSRAMs fit without mods, so I am pushing on to the install of the high beams and fogs.

 

[nuru]

I did the 9011 mods and they are in and they fit. They appear to be a lot brighter than the stock high beams, wonder what their temp rating is.

On to the fogs, pics to follow

Okay got them all installed (finished around 12:30pm. Working on the pics.

Still working on the pics.
