i got them locally.. if you are swapping them out, change your headlights at the same time, since you will have to take out hte fender to do either one..

wait until you do it

you will end up with scrapes up and down your arm if you are not 100lb skinny azz guy

there is like no space up there and you have to do it by feel.. you can't ever see the bulb

all i did when i put my HID's in was jack up the car, take out 2 inner fender clips and tie the inner fender liner back, which gave plenty enough room to change around everything.

The fog bulbs are changed by taking the whole foglight out from the front.

The headlight bulbs are changed by going thru the fender.

i had ordered some H11 from luminics, over a week ago, and still ahven't gotten them yet, and i should have gotten them last wensday, now i'm getting a little ticked at luminics.
Let us know how the luminics bulbs are. I'm looking to get a rich yellow colour a la the 1st Gen TL / 2nd Gen Legend fogs

i didn't need to take out the fog itself, you can actually see the back of the fog when you take out the wheel fender liner. the headlight is high above and you have to reach up to get to it

I believe the manual says to to take out the fender for both lights.

I rather not fock up the aiming of the fogs by taking it out the front

you wont mess up the aiming of the foglight. why go through the trouble of taking off the fender when it only takes one screw to take off the foglight?
