I bought a pair of H3 Yellow Fogs for my 6th gen. How do I install this?? i checked the stickies with not much luck. Can someone shed some light on how to do this? Thanks

Take out the headlight assembly; this has been argued many times if it needs to come out, but imo its the easiest way to access them after you do it and ive done it so many times that i can have them off in 15 minutes.

Where did u get the HID fogs if you dont mind me asking and for how much

 

sorry, cant help

 

if you can please post the details (pics also if possible) on how to do this. ive been wanting to do this for months but havent wanted to try my luck. where and how much did u get them for??

 

Removing the headlight assembly requires removing the front bumper. I gotta call BS on 15 minutes to complete that job.

The fogs are relatively easy to access from the engine compartment. You may need to remove the air intake if you don't have a CAI.

The bulbs are held in with a wire spring. Really easy to push to the side to release. Shouldn't take you to long to do it.

If you've done it as many times as me then, okay i exxaggerated, it took me about 20-30 minutes.

Pop hood, take out all of those little clips on the black cover, then the 2 holding the grill onto car, under car take clips off of splash guard, then on both sides there is one clip and one screw on the end of the bumper, then slightly pry off the splash guard on both sides, now stick your hand a 12mm and take out the 2 screws on both sides of the bumper and the bumper is off! now use the same 12mm hex to take out 5 screws that hold the headlight...the right lamp you will have to take off the plastic cover and then take.....now there are 2 on top, 2 on bottom and one on side, and do the same for the otehr side, adn then just take it out and disconnect the harness! lol jkjkjk

 

I had mine installed and the installer removed the bumper to do it, but others have told me that removing the bumper was not necessary.
Here are some pics;




Here another little mod that I had done;


Good luck with your install.

 

There is no need to remove the bumper to change the H3s. I removed mine to get access to the headlights.

 

Take out stock bulb and retainer, drill retainer cap to push cables through it. Then connect the wires. I hid my ballast and igniter behind the bumper guards and for that i did remove the grill.

That was it, nothing else.

any one have pics on the process on how to do this??? It seem ...like we are 50/50 on removing the bumper and lights....so what is the final word?

Unmatched: Are your Fogs, HID's in yellow, or just bulbs?

KAM: DO you have pics of your install, i know you are methodical in your photos step by step stuff.

Thanks

How about this? I've been trying to get these frikken lights to work and they don't. So, where can I get one of these bad-@$$ H3 Yellow HID kits? And someone give us some clear instructions!!! JEEEEEZZZZZZ!!! *pant*pant*pant*

(That was all sarcasm, BTW...but seriously, I want some of those H3s.)

 

Sweet Bro! I like the look!! I smoked out my turn lights.

 

I just changes mine tonight and it took about 5 minutes per side.I do have a Fujita CAI and did not take off the bumper or headlight. All you need to do is open the hood and find the back of the fog light part and unscrew it. [passenger side you will have to take off the upper shield near the windshield so you can remove the washer fluid fill tube] Unclip the retainer thing holding in the bulb and pull it out. Pull the 'hot' wire out of the socket and replace. 15 mins tops.

 

wtf????????? that wouldn't be a tryin to get 15 posts in would it??? noooo can't be --- welcome...lol

I am on my 3rd burned out passenger foglight....and this time when I took out the bulb, it was fried, i mean the coating on the bulb was all melted...does anyone know what this means? A bulb on that side now lasts about 2 months and then is gone...I have yet to burn the other side out. I dont know of anything I could do. I stopped replacing the bulbs, and now Ill put the stock one in to see if it too is burned out. My car likes destroying expensive H3's

 

04blackmaxx
that happens to me too
=\ only on the PASSENGER side
after two months. yup there gone. and its not cheap replacing them.
but I can do the bumper uninstall in 15minutes! its like 2nd nature to me now.
no joke dont believe. you can time me
hehe

 

HIDs, at night everything looks yellow when I have them on. I am going to do the foglight rewire when I get some time.

 

Did you upgrade the fuse?

 

Thanks, initially I was thing about going with smoked to match my tail lights but another member suggested that I go with yellow and I love it.

 

I feel your pain!! I have gone through 4 sets of silverstars and the passenger side keeps blowing and so do the OEM bulbs. So what I am going to do with the HID's is have them rewired on its own separate switch. So I cam run just the Yellow HID's with out the Headlights on. Hope fully with the right relays everything will be A -OK!

 

Can be done without bumper removal.

Easier if you unbolt some stuff inside :-)

Remember they go in only 1 way.

 

So anyone wanna throw a link out there for these yellow fogs?

there it is, i pm'd him $285 w/shipping!

 

That looks mean as hell. YGPM

 

You are da man!!! Thanks, VQ.

 

Here's another one for you, how does $219 shipped sound? Since I am local I got mine for $200 and that price included installation.

 

hey unmatched what did you do to the cornering lights ?

 

I don't mean to state the obvious...but the bulbs have to be absolutely clean when they go in otherwise they'll burn out quickly. If you've accidently touched them with your finger clean them up with an alcohol wipe. You can also try a super clean microfiber cloth.

While installing the bulbs you need to be careful the glass bulb itself doesn't scrape against the housing and either get scratched or pickup some grease.

Sorry mang, its just like swapping a bulb so I ended just plugging the stuff in and hid the extra crap in the bumper. Total instal was like 45-60 minutes. Only time i never took pics of install. But i will when i get the new bumper.

Its a tint, cut to fit.

 

oh alrite, i saw someone who changed out there cornering lights. Which bulbs go in there, just the 3156 bulb or are there hids as well? Does anyone know how to wire it so you can turn the cornering lights on when you want, or make them part of the fog lights switch?

 

2themax05 from nycmaximas.org has done this mod on his car.m

 

ill ask him thanks...

 

Those yellow cornering lights are sick, i have a smoke max and was wondering what color would look best, i think i found it.

 

yo seriously those corner lights are sick...nd i think the term should be JDM yellow...lolxz...

luminics does pretty good replacement bulbs. cheap too...i'm not goin HIDs conversations in my fogs just stock H3s buh different colors...JDM YELLOW...

buh wuh is this i'm hearing about passenger side fog bulb burning out a lot? is this true? wuhs goin on...? someone explain...i mean is it only happening with the bulbs that are HID conversations or to any aftermarket H3s you put in?

 

I had the same exact problem with my fog-lights. I bought a first set of super white lights and 9 days later the passenger burned out, so I go and exchange for JDM yellow and a week later they burn out, so I just got my re-fund, adn have stock bulbs in and no problem, and I am hoping to get actual 3000K HID's which would look exactly like JDM yellow, but brighter and more reliable.

 

hey, so what size bulbs go in the corner lights? Do you have to take off the bumper for that?
ps... I have these in my tags and reverse lights[img]www.eatools.com/~luke/ledlight/194-1hw-2.jpg[/img]

They are very nice and on Ebay.

 

I did it just like that except I broke some of little plastic things that hold the cover down Patience works it wasn't too difficult. It does look like a big obstacle.
