I just got mine, is there a process to take old ones out, do I need to turn a certain way, is there tabs to get bulb out of housing. Could use a little direction as I dont have any stands or anything so will need to shimmy my way under there. Thanks.

Those will be useless and dangerous in fog. The beam looks circular not flat! Will blind oncoming drivers also.

I need to check, but are the fog light housings the same as the ones on the Jeep Wrangler since they share the same bulb? If so, Pilot makes a glass replacement light that fits in there exactly. The only modification would be the wiring ends because , if I remember right, they take an H3 bulb. They were night and Day better than the crap the factory put in there. You could actually run just the fogs at dusk, and have usable light. They were available in clear, blue tint, and yellow tint. I will look into this, and get the part number for the replacements as well. I'm crossing my fingers!

Ordered. I was looking for a direct plug in and these look like they throw some light.

Thanks for posting

Very easy, lay down and reach up to the back of the housing, pinch the two tabs in with your thumb and pointer finger and pull straight back, might have to wingle alittle while pinching the tabs. Once that is out, then pinch the tab on the brown wirering harnass plug ( only on one side) and pull the old dim *** light bulb socket straight out. I did find it easier to plug the LED socket into the housing first, just line up the two tab side with the two slots in the housing, squeeze the tabs and wiggle it until it locks in, then just push the wire harnass plug in to the back of the socket, it only goes in one way. Done enjoy the new light.

Oh yeah, who really uses there "fog Lights" in the fog anyway. HA

Talking Got mine today! Installed in 10 mins!

Got the same ones off ebay. Obviously a comparison pic with only the drivers side installed. Sorry for the quality. Couldn't wait for the camera so used the iphone. Looks way better, always bugged me that the "carpet didn't match the drapes" on the front of the R/T. Volant should be in by the end of the week. Set of Nitto 420s's go on Wednesday (discovered Kumho's were further shot than I thought at 12k miles when new wheels went on... interceptor probably didn't help them out any either over the weekend). Really enjoying all the mods, but wife is starting to wonder if we will be living in the DD if I keep spending money on it...safe to say 'I may have a problem' and this board just keeps giving me more and more ideas!!
