Are the Beamtech LED's simple plug&pay with no issues?
I see they have 885 for fogs, and 9006 for headlights

My driver side fog light must have a burned out bulb so now seems like a good time to upgrade.
What is the procedure to change the bulbs? Big job?

I was just looking for some plug and play bulbs. Quick and easy. I did not read anything about changing the polarity on the wiring. I would have to get under the car, pull off the panels, and reverse the wiring on the connectors. Now, a fifteen minute job becomes a two hour job. Not what I bought into.

the polarity bit is a very common thing among aftermarket LED & HID setups because some manufacturers (GM does this a lot) are electrically wired different than 'usual' in how their lights get power. aftermarket companies build their products for the masses & will therefore make them compatible out of the box with the majority of vehicles they fit.
if you'd like to reduce the time to reverse the pins, i'm sure there're a couple companies out there that'll happily sell you a $25 set of adapter harnesses that will be a male & female of the same plug that crosses the wires between the pins & costs $3 to make.

Naaa.... Did a workaround today. Took a pencil grinder and a small burr and ground out the plastic divider in the connector of the LED bulb. Everything is semetrical other than that divider. Rotated my wiring connector 180 degrees,, and plugged it in. Presto....Fog lights. Tool and Die worker for 40 years. You learn to Get er' done.
