I just replaced my headlamp bulbs with the Kaixen 6000k bulbs from Excelerate. Now I'm looking for new fog light bulbs that will look good compliment the 6000k Kaixen. Any recommendations?

Nokya Arctic White 7000k.

Remember 2007/2008 TL-S Fogs are H8 NOT 9006 as listed in many Fitment Guides; Even the 2007 Owners Manual is wrong on this (HB4).

If I were you, I'd run some HIDs in the fogs for a 100% match. But those Hoens look like a great match too.

Judging from other posts about HID fogs I would have to buy a conversion kit. I don't want to melt the stock lenses. I don't really want to change the whole entire unit. Replacement bulbs will are more than likely the choice.

where is a good place to look for those HOEN bulbs and the Nokya bulbs? I looked at XenonDepot and they didn't list anything for the 07TL-S. All they had for the 05+ TL was 9006.

Nokya's easy to find on ebay. I got mine from bluautohaus - no problems.

Or Google "Nokya H8 Arctic White"

Had them since ~Oct/Nov.

How easy/hard is it to remove and replace the stock fog lamp bulbs with either the Nokya Arctic White or the Hoen bulbs?

Easy.

Look in the Owners Manual for basic instructions. Search here for add'l tips.

Basically (for each side):

- Remove two clips in the wheel well liner
- Reach thtough and unclip the wire harness from the socket (hardest part is finding the F'n clip release by feel).
- Twist the socket to unlock it and pull the bulb/socket out
- Replace the bulb
- Reverse to re-install

Maybe, but you don't *have* to remove those. You can - probably gives you easier access - but you don't *have* to.

You can reach in with just the 2 wheel well liner clips removed.

Hi. I upgraded my HIDs to 6000K also! Then I bought a pair of Hoen Endurance Yellow 9006 bulbs for $50. I loved them! I also had them at a % of my aftermarket DRL install. However, I was thinking about 3000K 9006 HID conversion kit for $80 of of Ebay new. So, I swapped the Hoen's for the 3000K HIDS and love them even better (lost the DRL feature, like stock now). Picture below.

This is an '08 TL. The only way to access these bulbs is from behind the wheel well?

yup.. simple as this.. turn the wheel inwards

remove TWO plastic clips inside the wheel well (close to the bottom of the fender liner/bumper)

remove 1 plastic clip, and 2 10mm bolts under the corner of the bumper... (the ones closest to the wheel)

and peel the liner back.... thats it stick your hand in, and change the bulbs
