Bought some Hoen Xenon fog light bulbs for my '06 TSX. Before I start taking stuff apart, can anyone tell me what the most efficient procedure would be? From the looks of it I may have to disassemble that bottom plate to get to the bulbs? Thx!!

 

why would you want to do that they already look like they match the hids..

 

well sort of match..

 

Hmmm, in my case they look quite a bit more yellow compared to the HIDs.

 

Those are not stock. The stock ones are yellow.

Easiest way to get to the foglights is to go from under the front of the car. Undo a handful of the clips and reach up through the undertray. You'll unplug the harness and unclip the bulbs, swap them, plug the harness back into the new bulbs, and replace the clips.

 

Thx for confirming the approach. I popped out a few of the clips and took one screw out. That enabled me to reach the bulb with one hand and unplug the wiring harnass...but for the LIFE of me I can't get the bulb out. I can see I have to turn it clockwise, but geeez that sucker won't budge!!

 

It took me (and jpt) a good bit of fudging around in there but I got it done (with help) and 1 of my hands is broken too, you can do it

3 clips and 2 bolts have to come off the bottom. slide your hand in between the panels, undo the harness (this was the hardest part for me), rotate the bulb out (just keep twisting). Repeat in reverse order with new lights. I have the Hoen Xenonmatch's and am very pleased. Not exact (nearly impossible) but a very, very close match. It certainly looks a LOT better from far away.

 

Got it done! Geeeeeez. Have that little plastic notch on the plug side of the bulb firmly imprinted in my fingers! But the result is nice.

 

Excellent. I especially like the slight blue reflective appearance of the fogs when you look at them straight on in the daylight now.

 

i asked that guy what type of bulbs he had put in so i could do the same but he said he never touched them, that they came like thet from the dealer..

 

Perhaps the dealer swapped them or there was some PS touchup done to the picture.

For comparison, here is a picture of my car's fogs:

 

damn, big difference.. very nice car though,i like that color !
