Replacing 2008 TL-S foglight bulbs...

My passenger side foglight is out and I figure i can replace the bulb myself cheaper than having the dealer do it. Any DIY for this? Also, any ideas on alternate bulbs? Don't want yellow, but a brighter, bluish looking light to match the HID headlights would be preferred.

Go through the wheel wells. Turn your tire toward the center of the car and take the wheel well clips off. Bend back the wheel well liner, and extend your hand in there. Feel for the plug and turn counter-clockwise.

Not to be a dick, but do you think I would have made this post w/o searching? I searched for "foglights" and "foglight replacement" in the 3G forum and didn't see anything.

I guess google is a better way to search the forum than the built in search. Noted.

I have the Nokya Artic White Bulbs in my fogs(like the picture above), they match the stock HIDs pretty much dead on. The bulb is kinda cheap though. It is painted blue so will prolly need to be replaced sooner rather than later. I haven't found any better solutions though.
