Like I tell my friends, if you get pulled over for tints you're getting a ticket for 20% or 5% so just do it big and go with 5%, btw brilliant black would look amazing with dark tints thats the original color i wanted but had to "settle" for meteor gray... good luck with your decision!

I tried to take as many pics as possible to get the look of the fog lights, but its hard haha... here goes nothing though..
EDIT: in the last pic you can see how the tints look you can barely see inside the car..

looks sweet! Yea, i think i am going to go dark i ordered the 2.oT with prestige , nav and s-line package. I think it will look good darker because the S-LINE adds a little extra chrome around the car. by the way, meteor is a great color.

Once you popped the panel off did you then unscrew the housing from the inside of the bumper?

Just got some replacement bulbs in and trying to get them in there

Yea, theres two torx screws diagonal from each other, just unscrew them the lens and housing pops off then go about switching the bulb like any other car bulb. lemme know if you need further help...

Default My new foglights

Ok, got mine swapped out.

For anyone who's never done this before, after removing the trox screws you rotate the housing for the light and the light itself 1/4 turn to remove the bulb.

Talked to the parts guy at my dealership and the said the stock ones are 12V/55W. Gotta say for the money, this was a great deal. Here are the bulbs I bought:

Here are pics, including a couple intermediate shots with only one light swapped out to show the difference. The pictures don't do it justice, the new foglights match the leds very well and look a lot better. The camera had a hard time at night too.

Only thing is to convince my pops that this wont Void the warranty and the bulbs wont short out and set the entire electrical system off. I hate being 19 loll. Are these bulbs more white then blue ?

I'm 20 and I changed them, just change them back if it shorts it out. The only time the fog lights are on without you actually pushing the button is when you're walking to and from the car, not that big of a deal.

Got some Luminics Ultra Whites and a harness kit and installed the fogs about an hour ago. Subtle, but definitely noticeable.
