Pics of Changing Fog Light/High Beam Bulb
Thanks to the post in the DIY section I was able to change my fog light/high beam bulbs to Sylvania Silverstars today. Even though the process is pretty easy I decided to take some pics anyway so that perhaps they can be added to the original "Changing Fog Light/High Beam bulbs" thread in the FAQ/DIY section. I like visual aids when it comes to How To's so maybe this will help future newbies.
As stated before there are a total of 7 plastic push tabs, 1 screw, and 5 10mm bolts to undo. This first picture shows 3 of the plastic tabs that can be popped out using a small flat head screw driver. 04' G35S 6MT Ivory Pearl, Willow, Premium 170800-Copy of PICT9175.JPG |

This picture shows the 1 screw that is near the side marker.

Two more push tabs that are in the inner portion of the wheel well.

The last 2 plastic tabs that are hidden on the under portion of the plastic shell. As shown by my hand you need to pull the lining back a little to expose the plastic tabs. Once these last two plastic tabs are removed you can completely remove the plastic shell lining and put it aside.

Once you get the plastic lining off locate and twist the lower plastic cap counter clockwise. This will give you access to the 9003 fog light/high beam bulb. Once you are finished replacing the bulb just reverse the process and put everything back.

Re: Pics of Changing Fog Light/High Beam Bulb
I changed out mine WITHOUT removing the tires. As you describe, I undid most, but not all, of the fasteners and screws and simply pealed back the liner to expose the back of the headlight unit ... just enough so my hand would fit and so I could just see what I was doing. Took maybe 12 minutes a side to change out the H4 bulbs.

Re: Pics of Changing Fog Light/High Beam Bulb
Good DIY with pictures, but I do agree that it is a bit overkill. Just turn the wheel to the side, 5 clips and one screw. Bend back. Its best to do this after a decent drive so everything is hot under there. Makes the bending of the fender protector easier.
You should ask the mods to sticky this in the DIY section since its the most comprehensive pics I've seen about it. --------------------------------- http://www.anythingbox.net ![]() |
