I have an '06 g coupe and I wanted to get rid of that little peanut bulb that sits inside the "fog lights" when the headlights are on. does anyone know how to do this? i popped the hood last night and took a quick look and i coudln't figure out how to get to it. any help is appreciated.

 

you need to take off the tire, remove the fender wall to access the back of the headlights. It pops out really easy after it's all said and done.

After u peel back the fender wall plastic, pull the little cap out to expose the bulbs, go ahead and pull that lil bastard out.

 

this "peanut bulb" is called the city light in the 06 headlights...if youre interested in removing them or replacing them check out my old thread. they bothered the hell out of me.. https://g35driver.com/forums/lighting/105596-stupid-06-city-light.html

 

took mine out too

 

i just tried to take it out during my lunch break and i still can't seem to get to the bulb. it seems like the whole back part of the headlight is being covered up.

 

when i took it off i took off the entire headlight housing

 

I looked through the service manual and i can't seem to find information regarding the headlights. does anyone have a picture of what the back part of the headlight looks like on the '06 models?

 

you dont need to know. i went into doing it blindly too. read the thread i posted. i jacked up my front end, turned my wheels all the way to one side and peeled down the lining. Inside theres a black cap to the back of the fog housing. twist it off and shove your hand in there to feel around. youll eventually get the bulb out.

 

Did you remove the fender wall? that's the plastic lining that you take off with 2 screws and about 5-6 plastic snap on clips.

Did you unscrew the plastic cap?

 

Yes, you must unscrew the 3liter bottle like cap. There's 2 of em, the low beam cap (upper most) and the fog light cap (lower most). You must unscrew the bottom one, and there will be a skinny wire. At the end of that wire, is attached the city light bulb.

 

Ok i got to the bulb and let me tell you it was a b!tch but i got it replaced. It looks 100x better w/o the yellow light there when i have my headlights on. thanks for all the help guys! if you want pix let me know.

 

no prob...yeah the yellow light really took away from the HID look when the headlights were on

 

I went as far as to take out the bulbs in my corners (amber corners, still have to get the clears) . Now, oncoming only sees 2 sick projectors coming at ya
