Is it worth spending the extra money for the Hoen Endurance Bulbs (Close to $50 Shipped), then getting the Putco Jet Yellow (Around $25-30 Shipped)... which one would have a better output, closest color to the original is300 yellow fogs, and would be more reliable/longest lasting?

Also, is it fairly easy to change the bulb out... Any diy or write up?

It is fairly easy - you need to remove 2-3 clips/popits in the wheel well to allow you to pull back the fender liner enough for you to reach in and replace the bulb. I only got to do one side before realizing I had bought the wrong replacement bulb, took about 8-10 minutes start to finish.

Off Topic : Yea.... it's stock suspension and height Vervish... IMO the back is prefect (it does rubs alittle sometime) with this current offset and set up.

The front....the gap is like the Grand Canyon...i did thinking about the drop it with CW coils...but the road in TN already scrapping the shxt outta the Lexon CF lips already...

So i think i just gonna leave it like this for awhile...

Those are just ebay overlay. i bought the cheapest one... and only use 1/3 of the sheet.

the fog light bulbs were upgraded to real HID using 6000k HID kit.
