Replacing CL-S fog lamps..........

My 2002 CL-S fog lamps are burned out. Is it easy to replace them? I don't really know jack about cars. Is it a do-able job for a newbie? If I can I would rather do it myself than take it to Acura and have them keep my car. Also, my 50 k warranty is up.
Thanks for your help.

it's easier to chage the fog bulbs than it is to wipe your ass

u can access the bulbs from either the fender well or unscrew the 1 screw holding each in and change it that way

If you can screw in a light bulb in a lamp in your house, you can do this. Read through the thread listed above and replace with PIAA 19224.

Acura mechanic told me the dealer will replace any burned out bulbs as a warranty item.

I have the PIAA's... same problem, bulb is bigger than the hole. I enlarged the hole slightly by wrapping sandpaper around a round wooded dowell ( a fat pen would work too). It doesn't take muc sanding and the bulbs will fit no problem.

You will love the "white" look of the Polarg / PIAA replacement. The factory bulbs are really yellow and pathetic.

I haven't doen any changes to interior lighting, but I have changed out the high beam with PIAA's. They actually made very little difference in illuminated area, but the white look is more consistent with the HID low beams.
