If you see four fasteners then there is probably a fifth.

The screws are located at the very top of the wheel well on the very edge. The heads face directly to the ground. You should only have to remove one.

I'm not sure whose instructions you are using but sounds like you are having a hard time. If you want me to send my instructions PM me your email addy.

PS - I have a sedan, so maybe that explains the difference.

I changed mine out on my 05 sedan in about 45 minutes. I reccomend removing the wheel. It just makes so much more room available. Once you get the clips and the screws off it is much easier than you might think. Unscrew the back cover, unlatch the light retaining springs, don't touch the new bulbs, work in reverse, done. Thanks to all who have posted help on this matter.

The difference is just color temp.

PIAA Platinum Super White Wedge Bulbs = white

PIAA Super Plasma Wedge Bulbs = purple (GTX) or blue

PIAA Plasma Blue Wedge Bulbs = blue

PIAA Ion Crystal Wedge Bulbs = ???

I just changed out my fog/highbeam lights with SiverStar. I agree it was pertty easy, but I didn't find it that hard with the wheel on.

I only needed to turn the wheel fully, remove 2 clips (holding the front and back plastic covers together) and the two screws holding the clips at the wheel well edge. There is a round cover with 3 wires going through it which screws off, then the wiring plug comes off the old bulb, then the spring clips holding in the bulb is removed. This is on a 2005 sedan.
