i can help you if our schedules somehow allow for it. i've been pretty busy recently though so i can't promise anything. for the fogs, are they just h11 halogen yellow bulbs? it's super easy. i just finished installing my yellow hid bulbs. they don't look as yellow as i thought though so i'm hoping it'll get get yellower over time.

the drl/high beam bulbs are even easier to change.

oh wait i forgot u have an ilx now...can u check under your fogs...do u have 2 flaps that you can flip out? if so then yea it's pretty easy to access and change out your fogs. if not, then we might need to go through your wheel well.

i don't think it'll be as easy as the ilx. I have the h11 for the fogs...I plan on getting hb3 drls...ill see if I can do them on my own first. But, for sure I'll need help on the fogs.

Nah i was saying DRL cuz for sure that's easier than fogs. Fogs took me a while to figure out the whole flap thing when I first installed them but DRL you can do in 5 mins

if the ilx has the same flaps as the tsx for the fogs, then it's not that hard. 3 bitch clips then i pull out the flap, stick my arm in there to turn and unplug the bulb, swap out the new bulb and close the flap, put the bitch clips back in and done. it's harder if you were gonna put hid fogs cuz then u gotta find a place for the ballasts and wiring and shit.

I don't like HIDs for fogs...too much effort that's not worth the reward.

When I painted my foglight covers I used the flaps and it was a pita trying to figure out where shit was, then I had to take it off to get the license plate frame off and was like wow... XD

Its not a big deal if you break a clip or two. There's so many on there holding the bumper on that you wont notice.

the clips have two lines on opposite sides when you touch them. if u stick a screwdriver under those area, it's a lot easier. the lines are there to guide you.

all you really need is a flathead screwdriver. did u get your foglight bulbs already? or just your high beams?

and Kia's clips are MUCH EASIER. lol screw honda's pry method.

KIA's clips are phillips head screw in type. when you get past a certain thread, it will pull up just like the honda's

i dont like the plastic phillips head screws. if the screw gets stuck a little and you force it, you can shred the plastic head so easily and then that screw is done. and getting it out is even more difficult. at least the bitch clips if you fuck up the outside, you can still pry the whole thing off
