For All Those With Polarg M6 Foglights

My road/fog lamps are the Polarg M6's. My right road/fog lamp burned out. Went to replace it with another, but the bulb won't come out. It seemed as if the bulb expanded by a few millimeters so now I can't get it through the hole without breaking the bulb. Also, I disconnected the bulb from the harness to get a better grip on it and accidentally dropped it. Any insights? PS I noticed my road/fog housing is burnt from these bulbs. It's right above the bulb.

i did the smart thing before installing my M6 bulbs...i took a dremel and ground down the hole to be a tit hair bigger so the M6's fit in without ANY problem...and the locking harness still works even after i "dremel"-ed the hole out....

I did the same thing... Dremel that hole a tad bigger...

Minger, if U happen to break the bulb while taking it out, just turn that puppy up-side down and keep shaking or put a vacumm cleaner felxible hose to that fog light opening & suck the glass debris out...

If U dropped it in the fog housing & the bulb is not broken, break the bulb w/ a screwdriver & shake or suck out the debris...

Replaced with PIAA.

UM...I just got my new POlarg M-6 to replace my burnt out piaa, now. um..previously when I had an accident in the front, the repair shop installed the piaa I gave them....NOW I want to install these new ones by myself. I Just need to know where to start. Do I NEED to take out the whole FOG LAMP??? or it can be changed the same way as the headlights. I HAVE no clue and need the first step, as to where to take out, from bottoom of bumper or from top. thanks~

First, chill out and stop digging up all these old ass threads.
Second, search better
Third, you access them from the inside of the bumper, through the grill. There's one phillips screw that you will be able to see. You might need a flash light. Unscrew it, pop out the road lamps.

i see a lot of people change to the Polarg M6 Foglights . Are they any brighter
what bulbs could one get to prevent the housing from melting due to hot temp but yet illuminate with better /brighter lighting.
