Changing FOG LIGHT light bulbs

I want to change the color of my fog lights to JDM bright yellow ones. How do I go about doing this?
Can I just get the bulbs and switch them out?

It's pretty simple. You can get to your fog lights w/o taking off the bumper and headlight assembly. Just open up your hood and reach down, twist and turn. for the right headlight, you need to take the air tube out. Remove the 2 screws that hold the plastic piece, then just pull up on the rubber tube. You should be able to reach in with your hand and pull the bulb out of the headlight assmelby. Good luck!

Its easy to install basically except it is such a b*tch to twist the bulbs loose, and there isnt much room to work with either; hand barely able to go in, especially on the left side. Anyone else have this problem of twisting the bulbs out?
I always dread the day of when I have to change them again....

I got a set of PIAA Plasma Ions and they are bright and yellow. Well worth the $40. As for taking the bulbs out, you can use a set of needlenose pliers and a rag to twist the bulbs out. Just take is slow and remember to go counterclockwise.

K-Shawn has this setup on his RRP I don't think I have any pics of it right now but I will check once I get home. It gives it a real JDM look especially with a nice drop, Aspec Kit, and a sick set of 20's

Is it the same process with the main HID's?

You can pick up a set of PIAA Plasma Yellow Ion HB's on ebay. Just do a search. Here are a couple links:

I have "Nokya" 2500k bulbs from Ebay.....I'll do HID at a later stage, but I love these already. More yellow than I expected. Nobody flashes me anymore. I also did the DRL mod so my car looks really unique. I can drive with my parking and fogs on.

No doubt you will scuff a few knuckles twisting those damn bulbs off the 1st time. Keep trying, you'll get it off. After that they're a cinch. Seems to be the deal throughout the car; everything is "torqued" pretty hard when it's never been taken off. Thereafter it's "broken in" and it'll be a breeze.
