Replacing Bulbs on 03 G35 Sedan
I have bought the silverstars for my low beams (h1) and silverstar ultras (hb2) for my high beams and im having trouble getting started. many people say, take bumber off. others say take wheel off, so if im going to take the wheel off, where do i go from there?

Can I replace the DRL bulb with this Philips 70W HB4? Can the existing wires handle the 70W when I turn it on to use the fog light?

Ancient thread resurrection....
••• Correct to assume HB4 fog light replacements on '07-'09 sedan do not require any resistors or cancellers for any flashing/flickering issues?
I'm still running my stock fog bulbs after 12 years and thought I might freshen the fogs up with something new.
As a proactive measure I swapped out the stock D2S bulbs as they were getting pretty dim after 12 years. The AFS bulbs help some swapping bulbs being able to turn the socket.
Bought from The Retrofit Source so assume legitimate.

Easy swap through fenders.

Good video, only suggestion I would add is to wear a new/clean pair of gloves when handling the lamp, including while cleaning it with the alcohol wipe. You end up getting oil from your fingers on the alcohol wipe if you use it bare-handed, the risk of contaminating the lamp is low but it can still happen. If you're in a well lit environment you'll be able to look at it and see a discoloration on the glass if it's dirty.

Good point...... I used new latex gloves and cleaned both lamps with a lint free tissue and alcohol before install.
EDIT: Also shot a support request off to VLEDs to see if they had any info.
Thinking of these HB4s for fogs.

I have a version of these in my GX 460 high beams.

What's the trick to releasing the fog light bulb from the mounting ring ? I unplug the harness and am able to rotate the bulb almost 90°. I can see the (3) tabs lined up with the openings in the mounting ring too but I can't get them out. Same thing happens on the driver and passenger side. Also on both bulbs, it damn near looks like there's a secondary retaining piece on the 12 o'clock tab. Am I imagining this ???
