Replacing Fog light bulb (06)

Just ordered a pair of super white H1 fog light bulbs from here:

https://g35driver.com/forums/exterio...5-shipped.html

I've checked the DIY section and can't seem to find any guides as to how to change the bulbs on the 06 sedan.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Use the search it will help tremendously in finding threads.

Since you are just replacing the bulb for the same style, its just as easy as pull a connector off, and put the connector back on.

Do not touch the bulb with your fingers.

Also I am pretty sure the fogs are H4 bulbs.

Check here for your year, 05 is defiantly H4

There's a slightly easier way to do it. For the driver's side bulb, turn your wheels all the way to the right, then partially jack the car up to get more room. You can then take the screw out and the top 2 plastic clips and pull back the wheel well cover to get access to the headlight assembly. Reverse for the other side. Both ways are a total PITA, and this one will get you a little dirtier since you arms will likely rub up against the tires, but at least you don't have to remove the wheels.

This is the second worst design element on our cars (we all know #1, the location of the seat controls). I absolutely love the look of our headlights, it's one of the big reasons I think our cars are the best looking sedans on the road, but changing the bulbs shouldn't be this much trouble.

OP you need to return the H1s and get a set of H4s as previously mentioned. The pair you bought won't work on your car.
