If I remember correctly, the extension bar should be 6 inches or more.

10mm socket wrench with 6 or more inches of extension.
Its not that easy. When you got the screw out, there this clip that you have to press in order for it to pop out.
have fun!!

I have the Sylvania SilverStars 9006 for my fogs. The color almost matches the HID perfectly when you are sitting inside the car looking out. Looking from the outiside, the SilverStars look yellowish/white compared to the white HID which means it doesn't match too well, but it's still better than the stock Stanley bulbs. I drive with the fogs on and you can see much clearly because the fogs really lights up the road about 5 feet ahead.

I had my silverstars for almost a year. It's easy to take out the foglights.

I've had the Sylvania SilverStars for a year with no problems. I'm thinking about purchasing the Razo Premium White once the SilverStars burn out since I've heard that they match the HIDs pretty well. Cheapest Razo Premium White bulbs I've seen so far is $60 online. If anybody knows where I can get the Razos cheaper than that, please let me know. Thanks.
