Change fogs on 2006 TSX

Hey guys, im not sure if im posting this in the right section but im sure it will be moved if it is not. My question is : has anyone changed their fog light bulbs on a 2006 TSX with the extra OEM lip on the front. I just purchased a pair of Hoen H11 so the fogs will match the lights. (it was driving me crazy!) If anyone knows how hard it is to do this..and maybe some pointers would be helpfull. If it is a big deal i will get the dealer to do it. Thanks!

It is real easy, we did this to Reach's car a while ago. Just unclip the plastic clips on the bottom of the bumper, reach in and remove the bulbs. The only somewhat hard part is finding the tabs on the bulbs (but this isn't any easier if you don't have the front underbody kit) -- you should be able to figure it out eventually by looking at the replacement bulbs even if you've never done it before.

Yes, fairly simple to do. You don't even need to jack up the car. Refer to your manual so you can have a picture of what you gonna be looking for. The driver side is a pain in the @ss!!

Nice to hear that the job is easy. Anybody know if you can adjust the angle so you can throw the light a little farther.

Sorry, you putting in brighter bulbs or yellow ones?

Brighter. The Hoen's are called 'xenonmatch' as they're designed to put out light much more the color of the standard 4100k hids. The stock bulbs look orange-ish and pale compared to these.

Gotta thank jpt.. he changed my lights for me while my hand was broken back in March I watched and it didn't look that hard (hey, I even helped on 1 of them...)

its easy, but don't think its too easy either...the plastic part on the bottom gives a ton of resistance and ur forced to work in the blind sometimes.
