Any1 have a quick way of replacing a fog light bulb???

Thanks!

If you look under the bumper there is a small square cut out on the bottom of the bumper. If you look into this cut out you will see the bolt that holds the fog light in place.

Use the following to remove the bolt:
8 mm socket + ratchet extension (depending on whether or not you have an OEM kit...)

Fog Light removal:
Get a small screwdriver and cover the tip with a soft material (I used a piece of paper towel). Slide the screwdriver in between the fog light and the bumper on the left side of the fog light (assuming your removing the right fog light when looking at the front of the vehicle). The fog light should just pop out. Don't apply to much pressure...

what is a good hyperwhite bulb to put here? I was thinking PIAA is best

PIAA Xtreme Force...about $90 for a pair. They match the HIDs very well from what I've heard. TL Dustin had them on his 2nd Gen.

btw what is the bulb number?

9006

Thanks for the tips on changing the fog light. Although on my 2002 TL 10MM was necessary, not an 8 MM rachet.

Anyone actually have the number for the fog bulb? 9006 is for the headlight I believe. Looking to get new FOG BULBS not headlight bulbs. Thanks in advance

I just posted some pix of the fog light replacement I did today. Easy job, just needed new bulbs (9006), a 10mm socket with an extension and a spudger to get the lamp assembly out.

I replaced all the bulbs. High beams/ Low beams/ and fogs. The passenger ballast had brown sh*t on the plug. I assume it is moisture. Now on the hunt for a ballast. ....

Any idea where I can get nice aftermarket fog lights with a touch of blue? My aftermarket ones just burned out. (lasted a long time) I don't remember where I got them.

^ Autozone and most Auto Parts sells ULTRA WHITE bulbs which are coated with a blue hint on them..

If you want blue color on the light itself go HIDs..

Something to consider if you want the 6K look, are these LED fogs (http://www.vleds.com/bulb-type/drl-f...06-1-pair.html)

I got them and they have pretty good light output(850 LM total output) and they match my 6K HID's perfectly. Had them for about 4 months now and they're holding up fine.

^ Tough you can get some cheapo HID kits for that Price and will get you 3250lm :/

hamburglar490

Hmmm. Well that does seem like the better option lol. On the other hand, these are quicker to install

Skirmich

Dont get me wrong! They look awesome and the quick way to get that "HID" look.. But if I were buying that I would wait till I get Looks and Useful light too

can u run higher watt beside 55w? for the 9006

Skirmich

^ Yes but in the fogs is useless they have a Cut off so the light will never show in the Low beam headlight area.. Using 55w will make the light NEAR the bumper stupid bright.. You want 55w in the Lows and 35w in the Fogs.

Just bought me these. I will see how they look once I get them. http://www.hidextra.com/9006-6000k-hid-kit/

Here's my DDM Tuning 6000K kit. This was when I first installed, but since then they have gotten a blue hue to them! I would recommend just putting HIDs in the fogs!

TL260power

Just got these today and they are a full kit. I just need the bulbs so I'm going to return them.

How many Watts do the fogs lights have?

Skirmich

^ According to specs those LEDs pull 7.5W

01tl4tl

watts is power used to operate
Lumens is amount of light output
Kelvin is the color scale used for bulbs 3000 5000 6000 etc
3000 is yellow for actual fog, 5000 is best for replacement of stock lights

Just installed these last friday. Next my headlights.
