Acura CL Fog Light Bulb Replacement,
Hey guys, I just bought a set of Platinum Super Whites to replace my fog light bulbs with and am having trouble replacing them. I took a look at and under the front of my car and it seem the only way to get to the back of the light housing is by removing peices of the front facia and I would rather not if at all possible. It all comes down to I have no idea what I am doing so if anyone out there has done this or knows how, I would greatly appreciate and explanation of the procedure....ThanX

If your referring to those two driving lamps already in the lower front then the whole deal is described in your owners manual. Although the man. says to remove all three plastic anchors I was able to put them in by removing only two anchors. Some have said they've installed some by removing only a single anchor. So anchor's away my boy …

You can just stick you arm in in there and twist and pull it out. I didn't use any tools or take anything apart to install mine.

I removed two of the anchors on each side and installed them in about 10 minutes. And, I did use gloves!

You don't have to remove anything. Just put your hand between the plastic cover and the bumper from underneath. Believe me it sounds difficult but once you look at do it yourself, it's very easy.

Yeah, it was quite a bit easier than I thought, feel kinda dumb for asking now but I didn't want to start prying until I knew where I was trying to go first. Thanks all....

I replaced mine with Polarg M-6's yesterday. The 2 M-6 bulbs don't quite match in color(to each other,not the headlights.). Anyone else had this problem? I'll be trying to take them back to where I bought them for an exchange,but right now,for a $6 bulb, 75 miles (one way) is a ways to go.

CRAP CRAP CRAP!!!
I just broke a bulb trying to get the burned out M6's out. Its broken and stuck in the hole. Now its 9:30 and I have to take the light out. I wish it was 20 degrees warmer, I am sure that it would have fit out without breaking.

New here, just got my 01 CL a few days ago. My fog lamps don't come on, or both of them are burnt out. I'm assuming they come on with the headlights because I haven't found a switch that activates them. Is there one?
TIA
