Default Contortionist needed to replace OEM Fog Bulbs

Finally got around to replacing my OEM Fog light bulbs with the Luminics JDM Yellows. Driver's side bulb is pretty easy to get to from the underside of the car. As an FYI, you really have to bend and contort your arm to get at the bulb on the passenger side without removing anything. Good news is it can be done!

Thanks to Flecs for the Luminics recommendation. The HyperWhite headlights with the Yellow Fogs look great.

Thanks for your reply oh great anime mind

Agreed on the bumper even though I have not removed it yet. I'm lazy and usually have limited time to spend on car stuff versus tripdad stuff so if I can get away with not removing a component, that works for me.

You will have to remove the bumper. Or risk scratching/ touching the bulb.
Its pretty easy and takes about 10-15 mins to remove. I can get it off in less then 5 though, have had alot of practice lol.

Just dont break the pop out push tab thingies. I am pretty sure there is a write up on here on how to remove it.

There are 3 snaps on the top of the grill that get removed, you can use a small head standard screwdriver for that. They just pop right out. There are 3 bolts under the grill, 1 in each wheel well and 2 bolts under the front air dam you can remove with a 10mm socket wrench. Just be careful around the wheel well bolts, you can rip the black plastic mounts that connect the bumper to the fender and they are like $8 to replace. It is not too hard to do, like Buebie says!
