PIAA Extreme white fog light install?

Are they easy on the 2k2's? How about the clear blinker lights that are clear in the main assembly? Also I bought clear side markers for the front and rear. Where can I find a red bulbs for the back and what exact bulbs do I need?

Thanks everyone!

red bulbs

I got Polarg red bulbs for my rear clear corners. 168/194 wedge. They're are not a perfect match...look a bit pink at twilight, but more red after dark. Not an exact match, but they're ok for me.

fogs for my 2k2 was the first thing i did. jack up the front of the car right in the middle. take off the plastic splash shields from underneath the car. from under the car, there are 2 nuts that hold the fog light assembly on. after you take them off, push the fog housing from the inside of the car towards the front. be ready to catch them. then just change the light bulbs and put them back in. it is actually really simple. also when you are down there, take the oppurtunity to put in the clear sides. that way you dont need to use a screwdriver to get the old light out. get some silicon sealant and seal the light first so no water can get in. i didnt change the back side marker but for the front, you can just use your hand and push the light forward to unlatch. take a look at the latch and you'll see how it works and stays in.

the orange turn signal is a lot harder...search for a thread by emax on how to open them up.

fog install

I recall reading a write-up that Russ Zot (?sp) did on the 5th gen install of fog lights. My 02 was a little different but not significantly so.

EDIT: PMAS76 has a right up of replacing every bulb in his car on his cardomain site. You should check it out. I've been using it as a guide.

i found the titanium ones i wanted at sounddomain.

here's their exterior bulb listing:

and here's the red rear wedges - for the rear side markers:

i liked these cause they don't cast a red or amber color into the reflector, so it looks totally white/silver by day, still flashes/lights red at nite.

i did the same types in my front and rear flashers (different bulb size, obviously). i really like how they came out.
