So... bought my tC2 this week (Monday) and all my accessories came in during the week, so just this morning, back to the dealer and got everything installed.

I love the OEM fogs, and after owning the '05 xB I stick by the fact that OEM will be the best option, and factory installed is just clean. BUT...

I always rock yellow fogs. xB has some, and the tC must as well. SO... tomorrow morning, going to swap out the bulbs.

Anyone who has done this...any tips or tricks? Suggestions? I've read through the TRDSparks install manual, and I'm pretty sure this will just be a simple matter of pulling the engine 'under-cover' and the 3 screws/etc on the fender sides. ....OR are getting at the bulbs even easier? Can you just pop the fender splashguard a bit and sneak in there?

Thoughts?

 

the driver side one, i just reached down there, no problem.
passenger side, took out the few bolts in wheel liner, and plastic underneath, and went in that route

 

I just pulled the platic under guard down with one hand and then worked the buld with the other LOL..... work and was done in 10 mins both sides.

 

That was painfully easy. Driver side, easy to do with one hand, unless you have a CAI (I'm thinking less room to work). Passenger side you only need to pop 1 of the plastic snap-fasteners, and 2 10mm bolt/screws and you have easy access from under the car.

Look at figure 3-2 on the pdf in the first post. Easy as anything.
