Ok one of the first things I decided needed to happen with the new TL, after seeing the headlights and foglights on at night, was replace the Yellow fog light bulbs with a silverstar or something comparable.

The bulbs are clearly a 9006 bulb, but the twist and lock mechanism is mounted higher on the bulbs that come in the TL stock. So the question is, where do I find replacements?

Picture below illustrates what I am describing

They're H8/11 bulb size...

I have the yellows, like you can see in my Avatar. Mine are HID's though, with a layer of clear guard yellow film on top also!

It's definitely H8 (2007 and up)...had to deal with the trial and error...the H11's will fit the earlier 3rd gen models.

H8 it is. Local autoparts stores dont carry those bulbs so it looks like I am buying them on the intaRW3b

Hey guys, I was wondering, what work needs to be done in order to remove/replace the foglight bulbs...as in amy removal of the bumper etc.

i got the nokya hyper yellows but damn how did you get yours to be so bright??

What year is your car?

In my 07, there are splash guards underneath held in by 3 or 4 bolts. Remove the bolts, twist the bulb, unplug the bulb, and then do the reverse.

thanks sporklover...I too have an 07 TL-S...did you have the "add-on" splash guards installed, or are you talking about the standard pieces in the wheel well (I apologize in advance if I'm confusing etc)

They're HID lights... which are about 3x as bright as halogens. They look great!

All you have to do is pop out three bolts in the fender liner and then pull it back and you have access to it. It tells you how to change it in the Owners manual.

They are the standard pieces in front of the wheels and underneath the car.

I Have H8 100 Watts

Would They Be Okay To Use For The Fogs Or Is That Too Powerful?

I got mine off ebay... they're 3000K color temp, H8 HID's...

It's best to use the relay kit the lights come with, and run new power and grounds to the lights. I have them wired to come on with my headlights, since I never really turn them off.
