Just remove the front fender liner and you can easily access the bulbs. You may have to turn your wheel inward, but there's no need to jack up anything or remove the wheels. Good luck!

I don't see how you guys can do it without removing wheel/liner. You guys must have small hands.

What would be the best replacement for the fog bulbs?

The number, and a good brand...

They need to be hid bulbs as well, right?

no...you dont use HID bulbs for the fogs...

trying to match the bulb is a fool's quest. Just find one that gives you the best output..or dont turn it on...matching is next to impossible..

on the other hand if you must...try PIAAs.

^how do you take out the city bulbs, and where exactly are they located? (pics would help) also, when you take them out do you just leave all the wiring as is and leave it hanging there?

the lower foglight cap...has two little wires..one yellow one black leading to a black socket. pull it towards you, it's a little 194 wedge bulb. take that out and put the socket back in place.
