changing bulbs

I just ordered some Razzo bulbs to replace the fog/high they're 4500k. Problem is I just looked under the hood at the light assy, how the heck do you access the bulbs. Is it from the fender well or what? Guess I should have thought of that before I ordered.

No idea, but please do us a favor and try to take same before/after pics of the lights in action. I hate the yellowish color of the fogs in comparison to factory HID's.

You can access the bulbs from the fender well, there’s a couple screws and pop out rivet thingys (yes, that’s the technical term for it) and then you can get to the bulbs. It also helps if you turn your wheels so you’ll have more room for your hand. It took more time to find all the screws and rivets than it did to change the bulbs. Have fun!

PS. You can also try this link

W#hile you're under there, do the turn signal mod, and change out the 168 running bulbs too. Getting all those stupid screws out is 90% of the job.

Ok, so what bulbs are we swapping the highs/fogs for? I had PIAA Etreme Whites in my Maxima and they looked great with the HIDs. Is everybody getting PIAAs or is there another bulb that matches the HIDs well?

Please let me know what "great thread" you found. Last year I also found a great thread
on removing the fender lining to access the headlamps. We need to identify this thread and
put it in our DIY forum for future reference.

The thread is just for different types of bulbs used by folks on here. Do a search for fog light replacement bulb and you'll see it.
