Yes, you must remove the front bumper completely, and you must remove the headlight as well. The battery also gets in the way so you're gonna have to remove that as well. Be careful of the intake filter, if you feel that there's not enough room, remove that too.

How do you do all of these things? Not sure.... why don't you create 5 more threads im sure someone will be nice enough to help you out.

for halogens,can't you just go through the well for the fog's, and through the hood for drl's? If I remember correctly I did this for my noyka's(fog's) before I went hid. I didn't remove the bumper just stuck my hand in the well. hid's you gotta the bumper remove to mount the ballast.I just did the yellow drl's this weekend and didn't remove the bumper either.......


edit: I actually have a harder time swapping bulb's now with the injen CAI. The intake rests against the damn bulb so now I sometime's remove part of the bumper to access the fogs.

Honestly Acurazine has a search button near the upper right corner. If you hitt the search button you can paraphrase what you are looking for and will pull up numerous topics, and threads. It's not about being a tough crowd, or being an ass. It is just common sense.

... "and the hits just keep on coming!"

Is it possible that the OP is a highly skilled fisherman? Is it possible to be this inept? I think about this everytime I look at one of his threads but I take the bait everytime; if for no other reason than the entertainment value of the responses.

To replace the fog lamps on the 3G TL, you do not need to remove the front bumper nor any other body components. I installed brighter lamps in my TL's fogs several years ago and did everything from the front end of the vehicle.. no bumper removal.

When you have questions don't be shy to ask away but this is getting ridiculous.
