How remove bumper and install HID bulbs!
You'll need to remove the fog and high beam bulb (turn counter clockwise). Unplug the headlight harness (below and between the fog and high bulbs). You'll need to grasp the release buttons which are on top and bottom of the harness. *NOTE: Be careful not to touch the bulbs!!!
Reverse the install for the headlamp assembly, and install back on the car.
*NOTE: When installing the headlight assembly on the car, make sure the gasket near the amber turn signals are on the outside of the fender.
Turn on the car and test all three bulbs.

For the passenger side headlight assembly....
You need to remove the resevoir tank and its 2 bolts first. Then you can tackle the 1 clip and 4 bolts on the headlight. For some odd reason, the wires and harnesses are a little tighter on this side, so be patient.

Follow the bulb replacement instructions above, reinstall headlight assembly with note on headlamp gasket. Turn on car and test all three bulbs.

It's really hard to take pictures of light. So my pics don't really do justice. This is the best one though - drivers side has upgraded bulb while passenger side still has stock bulb. The new bulbs are rated 5800K. Stock are rated at 4300K.
4300K - yellow/white output
5100K - white/blue output
5800K - blue/purple output
Anything adverstised higher than 6000K isn't worth installing. Bulbs with that high of Kelvin rating actually emit a lower brightness light.
I got my bulbs from European AutoSport http://www.europeanautosport.com/evo.htm
Hope this helps

2) Yes, I have the fogs and highs replacements. After a few seconds, they warm up to white. They don't look greenish like on some cheap ricers I've seen. Both bulbs were whiter than the stock HID bulb.
3)Yes, you can run a search for 'h11 bulbs'. There's a few pictures comparing upgraded fog bulbs to stock.
