Default Foglight Replacement Procedure

Could anybody tell me a site that has instructions on switching out the foglight bulbs? The headlights seem straight forward, but getting to the foglights seems tricky. Im installing Xenon-like bulbs. If anyone has any info it would be appreciated.

I was able to replace mine by opening the headlight doors and reaching down to the foglights from the top. Good luck :flag

I put mine in putting the lights up as well. I squeezed my bigass forearm down in that crack and turned it with 2 fingers only to find out putting them in is the hard part--and I can see them from the brake ducts as they are not there with my ati. Take it to the dealer and pay for it or get a real skinny person to help you. I'd say come on by and I'll help, but it's a real frustrating thing to do. You'll love them when you're finished though.

make sure you take the time to adjust them as well. The hex screw is located right next to the outside of the lens on the outside.

p.s. I think you would have received more light from the Napa 885 type bulb. They are 50 watts and aren't that gimmicky blue tint that only reduces the light output.
