Hi there. I have a 2009 3.5Se coupe. It came with oem fogs. These bulbs suck when used with the OEM HID headlights. I can't seem to find some step by step instructions with pics on how to replace bulbs on oem fogs. Can someone direct me to some?

Second, I have read a lot of guys/gals here installing HID fogs. Any recommendation on brand/model?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not 100% sure since i haven't done it myself but this would probably be your best bet to change them

As for changing to HID's a lot of the guys on here (including myself) love the DDM tuning kit since their so cheap and have a lifetime warranty. I just ordered my set for headlights and fogs. Hope that helps!

There is a trim piece that connects to the front bumper underneath, if you are really good in tight places you can remove the front 6-8 clips and pull it down to reveal the fogs, you then would disconnect the fogs and remove the stock bulbs by turning them counter clockwise. The hid kit will plug into the factory harness and then put your hid bulb into the fog and turn it. Or you can remove the front bumper to make it easier. Remember youll have to zip tie your ballasts to somewhere, theres a part of the frame there and it has holes in it, thats where i tied mine too.
