how to remove tc foglights?
sorry about this, i was searching but i still cant find out. Do i need to remove the front bumper to take off the foglights. i want to change my bulbs in the foglights to some NOKYA hyperyellows, but it seems that i need to take off the bumper to do so. also the lights are 9006 right?
9006 and you dont have to take the bumper off (if your talking about the OEM fogs) i have done this many times. karate chop the bottom grill and move the grill/foglights around and slide it out the opening and change the bulbs 
OR if you have small arms (not to easy for me but....) you could reach in the opening behind the bumper and change the bulbs. i like the karate chop method. just do it carefully to not break anything. the bottom grill/foglights are only held in wiht a few clips comes off easily.

try hitting it in each corner and then in the middle on the top and bottom. there are clips all around the end, dont worry about breaking them, i have taken it off about 10-20 times and i have no problem at all. just hit it around the border and then you will have to wiggle and bend the grill, again dont be afraid the thing is pretty tough and it wont break just dont use too much force. it will take some twisting to get the fogs out of the gap but its not problem... actually ill try to take some pics in a couple hours when i wake up for you. hows that sound. ill show you where to bend and hit to get the grill out. it takes about 5 min. but im tired right now and its almost 4 in the morning and im goin to sleep lol. ill be back on in a few hours with some pics for ya.
ok sorry it took so long for me to get back itsbeen raining like a ***** and i just got the pics done for ya on where to karate chop the grill lol...
first take off the liscense plate if you have a front one.
then put your hand here and just smack the grill hard enough to pop it off of the bumper.
the grill will be sitting there like this
then after you have the grill loose twist it so that its flat like this
now you can slid it out this way
but it mights take some wiggling to get out
now that you got it out you can take the bulbs out and put the new ones in
the grill goes back in the same what you took it out. but to pop it back in just open the hood and reach inbetween the bumper and engine compartment and push it back in till it clicks.
if you dont feel like taking the grill out like that you could always try reaching in and taking the bulbs out like this
im pointing to the bulbs in those two pics.
i know im not the best photographer ever but i hope those pics help (if you didnt already do it)

LOL , the other way also if you dont want to crack off any tabs is by removing the whole bumper. Its easy grillcraft has a guide to take it off.
