O.K. Since I've seen quite a bit of interest, and I switched the wifies to yellow. Here is a DIY on taking the mystery out of this project. You'll be able to do this in a half hour, tops! Remember not to touch the glass part of the bulb with your fingers and be carefull not to scratch it. Doing so will cause premature failure of the bulb.
The left side is the easiest.(Drivers side) There is an access cover. Just remove the two black plastic clips by prying out the center. Remove the cover. Reach up and unplug the bulb by pinching the connector and pulling it down. Then remove the bulb by turning it counter clockwise. Installation is self explanitory from there.
Now the right side(passenger side).First turn the wheel all the way to the left. Locate the two screw type clips and remove them by turning it counter clockwise 90degrees.
Here is what the clip and its retainer look like when removed.
Now start from the top edge of the corner of the bumper cover and separate the black plastic fender well liner.
Work your way down, pry the liner away from the edge of the bumper cover. Be careful not to scratch the bumper cover.
You should be able to pull it back far enough to see the back of the fog light.
Reach in and turn the back of the bulb counter clockwise and remove the bulb from the housing. It might be easier to remove the connector after you have done this. Rather than unplugging the connector first.
Put the new bulb in then try it out before you put the liner back into place, just in case.
Just so happens that the fog rolled in when I did this.
Carefully put the plastic retainers in the edge of the bumper cover. Slip the liner back behind it and button everything up. Done!!!!
Just in case inquiring minds want to know. This is the bulb I had in it. It was nice and "HID like", with a blue tinge. But it was not bright enough IMHO.
This is the yellow I put in it. (No, the blue bulbs you see in this pic, in the packaging is not the yellow bulbs just the packaging for the yellow bulbs)
There you have it. I hope this simplifies it for everyone. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

Can somebody tell me where I can purchase these bulbs and how much they will cost? I just installed aerotect yellow fog overlays. They don't seem to be bright enough. Will these make them brighter?

lexuspdx,

They were at one of the meets, I think it was BOS. I ended up getting my Luminics JDM yellow bulbs from them. They even told me that they ran these bulbs in their headlights. They said it was legal to have yellow headlights. So, if their bright enough for headlights, then they should be bright enough for fogs. They worked out fine on the wifies car. See the pics in my DIY sticky.
Good luck,

Btw, I paid $25 for the bulbs. It shipped pretty fast too.

Is $25 for one single bulbs or does it have 1-pair (2 bulbs)?
Do you know how long (bulb's life) will the bulbs last?
Thanks
That would be for the pair. Can't tell you how long the bulbs will last. But as long as you don't touch the glass while installing it, it should have pretty much the same life span of any automotive halogen bulb.

It appears that they are now out of the 9006 bulbs Just as I was going to purchase
i got the Phillips bulbs and it has arating of 60Watts on it. It works fine but the bulb is hot from the moment its switched on. I nearly bunrt my finger just touching the fogligt casing. Isthis rating too high and will it damage the foglight?There is the MTEC bulbs which goes on 55Watts and is way cheaper, shud i use that?
Thanks
I'm more inclined to say that the 60 watt bulb would work just fine. Its not like it was an 80-100 watt bulb. Halogen bulbs normally run hot anyway. If you want compare them with the factory one on one side and put your 60 watt bullb on the other side and see if the 5 watts makes a difference in the heat it puts out. Good luck. Sorry I did not reply sooner.

Sorry to hear that. You can try searching the internet. I'm sure someone else sells them somewhere. Good luck.
Very nice!!! thanks for the DIY BTW, I'm planning on buying one of those cheap Xtec HIDs for my fogs and wanted to ask you if it is easier installing them on a lift or would you rather do it like you did with the bulbs???

Thanks!
If you have access to a lift, I would recommend using it. It will save your back. I did it this way bc most people do not have access to a lift.
