how to change fog bulbs

took about +- 30 mins to change



1st: take out the splash guards

2nd: there's 2 holes in front of the fog lights, take your screwdriver and remove the bottom screw
the top screw is for adjusting the fog lights

3rd: push the fog lights in slowly, it'll just come off and remove the cable

when installing back the fog lights, theres 2 holes that you can fit the fog lights in, its like hinges



thats the fog light after you take it out, then take out the 3 screws, watch out it strips damn easy

4th: pull out the bulb connector, its under the rubber hose, its a little bit tight

5th: take out the screw thats holding the retainer, you're going to use it again to hold the bulb in, dont lose it, it'll jump out once you loosen the screw


old bulbs out




new bulbs in, theres a yellow tint now

Good write up.

My only other comment is that it's not necessary to remove the screw for the bulb retainer. You can unhook the other ends of the retainer and swing it out of the way without removing it. I've done it while laying on my back under the car, should be easy with the light in your hand.

I bought fog bulbs, got them, and see they are 100w. I see insomniac_evo's are 70w. Stock is 55w. Is there any issues with going over the stock wattage? I've read that you should stay with stock wattage. Any thoughts?

I found some yellow bulbs on www.rallylights.com. They are Hella Yellowstar bulbs, 55W (same as stock)




They're not as yellow as I would have liked, but not too bad.

Good choice with the Nokyas! Best filament bulbs I've ever used!
I'm rockin' the 2500ks in my fogs right now.

It's too bad they don't make a stage II in the H3s.
