Hi, guys.
One of my piaa vrd H3 bulb is out.
So, I just bought the LED H3 bulb from superbrightled.com.
But the thing is that...
It looks like i need to take out the bumper or i need hydralic jack in order to replace the bulb.
Do you recommend any shops or ppl who can help me with this?
I would appreciate alot.

so I'm guessing you didn't install the fog lights yourself. You can use the oem jack that came with your car. Here are the steps.
Loosen lugs. Jack up your car. Remove tire. Remove part of the fender wall and then you should see the fog.

totally unecesarry, you can pull on the fog using two hooks( you can make them yourself out of a wire hanger) and simply pull til it pops out ,replace bulb then pop back in! done! lol

ive done this a couple of times, its real easy!

thanks for replies.
First of all, Dave at the scion dealership installed VRD fog lights for me when he was working there. So, yea.
Second of all, I like the hanger idea...if it goes like that easily, i just dont imagine how it should be going down like that.
Could you explain more to that one?
Is there any DIY on changing VRD fog light bulbs?

yeah.. i think i was actually the one helping dave install them in too..

it's just.. well.. the yanking part is a little iffy.. i'd crawl under the car, unscrew some screws for the plastic guard, yank away and pop them out from the inside.. that's me though.

no jacking up car.. no unnecessary removal of tire.. blah blah blah.

i'll call you tomorrow (friday).. you free?

baobaokim

haha, Trung~ yea you helped dave to intalll this one for me~
I am working today..(Friday).

SquallLHeart

Those LED bulbs look nice. It took you only near a month to get them replaced! Nah just messing with you. You got a pic of how bright they are on the road?

they look good but very dim

Is it a single LED bulb? Try those superflux leds. Insanely bright for the size.

SquallLHeart

they're a bunch of plcc-6 leds mounted on multiple boards... superflux leds would have given about the same light output... or actually maybe even less, but it wouldn't matter anyway

there's pretty much no usable light output, as i expected, and mostly is there for display.. it's LED... you can look at it and it'll be nice and bright... but shine it on the road and use it?? uhh... no.

Kinda useless for foglights then. But as long as hes happy with it.
