Changing my fogs to PIAA super whites

I searched the forum and I can't seem to get good instructions on how to change the fog light bulbs...

Any suggestions?

um... you take out the bulbs, put the the PIAA bulbs in. not sure what else to tell you, except that its a tight fit for the PIAA bulbs so, be careful.

There is a screw that you can access from the inside of the grill. Use a long phillips screw driver to reach it. Unscrew it and then you should be able to pop out the housing. The PIAA bulbs are a tight fit. I actually had to dremel a little bit of the plastic to squeeze mine in there. Also, remember not to touch the bulbs with your bare hands.

It took me 5 min, all u do is jack up both sides of ur car. Reach through the plastic and push out a little tab.(on the left side of car it is on the right side of lamp, Reverse for right side) The whole lamp should pop out and u can reach it from the outside. Turn the wires counterclockwise and switch bulbs. It only takes min after i figured that out. Read the owners manual if u get confused, it is in there. Good luck!

thanks. I got it working. I changed them. I'll post picks if you guys want. However, I thought the color would of been a little more white. It's a little too blue for me. Anyways, it's mush better than the stock fogs, that's for sure.

Anyone here put anything else as bulbs that make it look nice?

Dunno, my friend had a CL-P light housing that filled halfway up w/water, that looked different. Guess you could put a fish in there...

I have those, and they are very bright, but not blue at all. the bulbs are blue, but the light is white. look way better than those nasty dim stockers.
