Default Fog Light Bulb

Have anyone change the bulb on the fog lights yet? I know that it is a H3 bulb. Does it twist out like a H11 bulb? The fog light bulb sit inside some kind of plastic box in the fog light assembly and it has a connector going into it. If I am right, the H3 bulb doesnt have a base like the H11. Does anyone know how the H3 bulb is mounted and how to replace it?

Thanks

technically you can do it without removing the foglight housing, but it would be a huge PITA. to remove the housing is simple, just lay on the ground look up and you'll see a silver 10mm bolt going in sideways into the foglight. remove that and the black squeeze clip on the opposite side by squeezing it. once it comes loose, pull it out slightly and unclip the wiring. then remove the light completely and twist the end to expose the bulb inside.

Let me get this right, there is only 1 bolt and a squeeze clip holding the housing? Pop those out and the housing will come right out?

Just using the search function I entered GX foglights and got this thread. Scroll down to my post and you'll see a link to a 4 pager with pictures and a step by step on changing the H3 bulbs. I too recommend using the PIAA Ion Crystal bulbs. (if you like the yellow fog look)
