I can't for the life of me get one stubborn fender lining screw out. Arrgghhh!!! Anybody else have this problem? And since it's plastic, it's all damaged now. I've tried my hands, pliers, wrenches, teeth, tow truck, everything!

Hey those of you with stock fog lights... I just installed the Luminics 9006 12V 55W->130W 5150K Ultra White bulbs and they are really hot after about 5 minutes. So hot that I can NOT touch the outer fog light lense (the clear plastic facing forward). Is that normal even on the stock fog lights? Someone try it for me. Leave them on for 5-10 minutes and tell me if they are too hot to touch.
UPDATE: Yea the stock ones are just as hot. I put one side back in and they are way hot to the touch too. I guess the plastic housing is made to handle that sort of heat.
Also I have attached a pic from after the install. Camera does not give the most accurate colors, but its an idea. I like the way it looks a lot. Might not do the rvinyl light blue overlays after all.

Takes like 15-20 minutes tops!
For left side (driver side) you should go through the fender lining...it makes it way much easier instead of going through that small hole! All you have to do is remove the 2 clips and if you really want to play it safe, remove the lower clip that secures the lip & fender lining...
Went with the Nokya Artic Whites...was running yellow, but everyone seems to be doing it! No offense to the 1st gens, but needed to go with something different for the 2nd gens!

I just bought some Nokya 2500k 70W and see if the wattage was ok.

not if you are confident you are not going to touch the bulbs
i just did mine. couldn't find the access hatch so i went through both fender liners. i was about to give up but i couldn't justify actually taking my car somewhere to install light bulbs. i used the luminics yellow bulbs and it looks really good,

Does anyone have pictures of something similar to 8000K HID headlights and the Sylvania Silverstar Ultra Fogs? I'm thinking of doing it in the near future...like tomorrow or so. haha
