Nice write up! It will save people lots of time and effort. It took me 2 hours when I changed mine 2 months ago...

how about using a yellow overlay from aerotect and putting some hids in there. Wouldn't that be brighter and more yellow?

My bulbs dont work as easy. I cannot turn to lock them in. Do i need to adjust the housing to make it loose?

Make sure its lined up properly. Are they aftermarket bulbs? Compare the shape with the factory one.

I cant find the hatch on my drivers side for the life of me.... All i see is the plastic like on the passengers side. Is the hatch directly behind hte fog light in the wheel area? I can't find those things to pry off =/

If you're talking about the fog lights, the hatch is not behind, it's underneath the front bumper. Crawl underneath and you'll see it.

What's the spec of the fog light bulbs?

I am thinking to get a pair of xenon 9006 with 55W 12v and 5000k from Ebay. I'd have no problem to just plug and play without extra conversion kit? And there should be no difference between getting fog bulbs and headlight bulbs as long as it is 9006. Correct me if I am worng. Thankssss

what is the wattage and all that with stock fog 9006 bulbs...its been a while since i messed with some bulbs.. but from what i remember is it 55w->130w = 2500k.... so that means it (draws 55watts, puts out 130watts, and the color is at 2500k level) right?

I'm trying to find the right set of bulbs but i don't want to mess with electrical current

I'm looking at something that goes 55w->95w 5000k

So I took out the access cover on the driver side. Here is what I see ... How do I take out the bulb? I squeezed and tried to pull down the area where the arrows are but the thing just didnt want to budge !! HELP ..

You twist the bulb. .

I assume the red connector is what I need to remove in order to change the bulb, correct? doesnt look like I can turn it because its kind of rectangular shape. just go brute force and pull the connector down?

you just twist the entire assemble counter-clockwise, the pull the bulb assembly back. Then press the tab on the red connector to release bulb assembly from bulb.

DONT TOUCH BULBS WITH YOUR FINGERS.....unless you are throwing them away.

i changed out my bulbs for some yellow bulbs yesterday night and it was the most ridiculously hard light bulb change i've ever done. the hole is too small and its next to impossible to disconnect the bulb from the connector or reconnect the new bulb without using two hands. i ended up touching the replacement bulbs all over. but screw it its just temporary until this friday when i'll have my shop guys lift up the car and take off the bumper to properly install some 2500k HIDs.
