I used a set of piaa H3's in "HID" color, matched very well. However, after like 7 months, one of em blew out. And as you will soon find out, swapping them is a huge (b)itch.

You don't need to remove your bumper to replace the your fog light bulbs (type H3). You just need to be able to access the 10mm screw that holds the fog light housing onto your car. It's really fairly simple. After you do that, the rest is self explanatory.

Did you have to take off the wheels to get to the fog lights? i changed my fog lights before but i forgot if i removed this wheels or not. i dont want to waste my time outside in this cold weather. all i know it was a pain in the butt to get to it.

Nope, you dont. Just turn the wheels opposite the direction you are working in. Its simple enough, and i agree, I want to change my cornering bulbs but it is friggin cold out!

I second that! It's a pita to get to, but after that it's real easy!
