shouldn't be too hard. do NOT touch the clear part of the bulb with your fingers. use a rag or wear gloves (thin ones). it's just a twist out, replace, then twist back in.

what he means is twist the plastic thingy to take out the socket..not twist out the bulb. the bulb you just pull straight out. i think the bulb in the passenger side is a bit hard to take out b/c the space is tight..? im not sure.

Dont go Piaa I have had bad experiences with those bulbs. Blow out in a very short time and kinda expensive. Go HID if you really want good lights otherwise just stay stock.

I got mine from this website and they look great with my black housing. I got it for a little over $300 shipped and they look great with my black housing. Don't buy silverstars, they still have a yellowish color and it burned out on my friend within 2 months.

3.2 is a lot easier, the passenger side is open and the driver side just slide the coolant bottle and that block box up and you have access to the bulbs.
1. Remove the harness by pressing the clip and pulling away from the bulb
2. Remove the rubber boot
3. Unclip the little metal wire that holds the bolt in
4. Pull the bulb straight out

stick with the stockies. I put some PIAA's in freakin cost me 80 bucks, and they burned out in a few months. I dotn know of anywhere to get h3c other than the dealer for the fogs, and I just learned that H4 and 9003 are exactly the same bulb. So if you are in an autoparts store and see 9003 and no h4's just know they are the same. I posted instructions on how to change the bulbs too. There are pictures and everything, buy LDH pretty much spelled it out, not too hard at all.

Our fogs are H3C and I bought mine from the acura dealership. There are bluish bulbs online. I believe a member posted a link to a site with blue H3C bulbs (i forgot the brand) and they were $30.

If you get the Blue H3C bulbs, do you have to get a new fog cover plate since it's yellow? what can you tell me about that? cuz i don't want the yellow light coming out anymore. Thanks.

My friend got the PIAA Extreme white...bright as hell, but I'm sure it won't last more than a year. I used to have piaa super white and it didn't last me a year, so i bought hid instead.
