Need help!!

I am getting so frustrated trying to replace the fog light bulbs.

First, I try to folow what people on this forum said about removing the splash guards without any tools. No success!

I try to reach the mounting bolt under the bumper and beside the fog ligts. No success!

Somebody help me. I already bought the bulbs at Canadian Tires.
The brands is Sylvania Cool Blue and it says "Filled with Xenon".
The price 12CAD per bulb.

PLEASE...

I found the easiest way to replace them was to pop the clips off of the side air damns under the front skirt and getting to the bulbs that way. You'll need a screw driver & a rachet I believe (don't remember the size though.) It is easy, you will need to remove teh 3 clips in the fenderwll too!

The clips under the front air dam have a center piece to them that pulls down (it spreads the outer clip when pushed in) and then the whole clip pulls out. The clip looks like a black circle within a circle.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that is how I was shown last weekend.

Let us know how those Sylvania Cool Blues are. I've seen them at the auto parts store. I have the Wagner Lazer Blue fogs. They are a little whiter than the stock, but not white like the Piaa
lights. If the Sylvania bulbs are whiter than the Wagners, I just might try them. I don't want to spend the money for the Piaas.
What sucks is that for the price of the Slvanias and the Wagners combined, I should have got the Piaas to begin with. Oh well.....:o

Yes, but the PIAAs cost nearly around 90 US$ or more. The Sylvania cost only 12 CA$.

I can't wait to put them on, but first I can't seem to take out the bolts under the air dam...

As soon as I can, I will post some pics.

Ok, to take the 2 bolts under the bottom of the bumper, use a long 10mm socket wrench. After you have taken off the bolts, you might have difficult time taking out the lenses. Just use your hand and reach in the air dent next to the lense and you will need to pinch a little clip and it will pop right out. If you still have problems, I will gladly post some pics for ya.....
