How to Install New H11 for Fogs

Is there a DIY anywhere?

What do I need to do to swap bulbs.

Hey...It's pretty simple...on a GE...do you have a GE?
There is one screw that will allow you to remove the entire black housing.
Once you have that out, you can remove the bulb by twisting. (not like a normal bulb, quarter of a turn, I think)

This is also in your owner's manual, I believe.

Yes. Ok then, go outside, there should be a screw on the upper corner of each fog housing. Phillips head ...screw that out of there, grab the screw and then just wiggle the housing out. You can either unclip the harness, or leave it on there and turn the bulb. Let me know if you need more help.

What bulbs are you putting in?

Just ordered bulbs to go with the headlights I got a few days ago. Ill e doing the fogs in a few days when they get here.

Xtreme Vision 8500K, the light seems to be pure white.

I absolutely love them as headlights, so I figured I'd swap out the ugly ass yellow fogs now. I also adjusted the headlights up a few notches to give a much better field of view.

Be courteous and careful not to blind other drivers on the road by doing so.

No one has flashed me yet

I will probably adjust them up a little more if no one flashes me soon.
