Headlight bulb removal
I’m thinking about changing the bulbs on my headlights. Before I go ahead and order my bulbs, I need to make sure I can get to the them myself. When I opened up the hood to take a look, it appears that the fog light and turn signal bulbs look accessible without having to remove the headlights but the headlight bulbs on the other hand looks like it is going to be a pain. Do I need to remove the entire headlight just to get to the bulbs?
Also, I noticed in the owner’s manual it said that the fog light bulbs run at 51W. The bulbs I plan on using will be running at 55W. Am I safe or do I need a harness?

Fogs are 9006, try to get Philips bulbs, from what I've seen they run at 35W if you get like a 6000k replacement, unless those are just for projectors (the headlight bulb).
Headlights are D2S
Parking lights are 194 LED's
Removing the headlight doesn't look crazy bad. 2 on each side in the front of the wheel well and 10 bolts on the bottom of the fender.

I think you HAVE to take off the air filter holder thing to access the fogs.
I had to take it off and it's not that hard.
Just loosen the bolt on the intake tube and pull the filter housing straight up with a bit of force since it's held by a round/ball like plastic that pops into a socket.
After that, you should be able to access all of the lights if I remember correctly.
