Re: need help!!!!!! For the low/high beams just twist the bulb that is in there and it should pop out. When its out only a clip or two holds it in just take pliers and pluck the bulb out. For the Fogs you can remove the plastic undergaurd and just go in from the bottom. It's only 2 bolts.

Re: need help!!!!!! i tried to go under the car and change the fog bulbs but it was a lot of work... if it was a formula it would of been a whole lot easier. The best bet is to take it to the dealership talk to someone and let him either hook you up or let the mechanic do it on the side. let me tell you one thing... i did a brake lube test and changed the bulb and it took them 2 hours just to be done with it even with them raising the car up. Also you might wanna be careful about touching the fog bulb .. any simple grease or oil from you hand could go on it and burn you bulb easy. better watch out.
The stock bulbs are 27.5 watts ... i got 37.5 watt bulbs and i had no problems with them. people higher wattage bulbs like 50-110 watts burnt the stock lenses and some wires. Becareful about that... if you want the bulbs i bought email Leo at gameport@earthlink.net and he should still sell the bulbs I got with a whiter brighter look that is yet a safe upgrade.
good luck!
