I also suggest taking off the bracket in the red box in the picture below. Gives you some more room to work with.

Hey VIP G borrowed your pic, hope you dont mind. thanks

ya the HID would be super easy thru the wheel well.

The Mtec fogs and parking light bulbs i got from eBay looks pretty good.

is it absolutely necessary to take off the wheel or is it possible to just turn the steering wheel all the way to the opposite side...and also is it ok to use LED's for the parking lights?

you can leave the wheel on but it will make it tough, I've done both and its well worth taking the wheel off. Yes LEDs are great for the parking lights

I just did this last night, theres no need for unscrewing anything. I unscrewed the two screws on the fog bulb on my first attempt and it would not thread back in. i had to use a slightly bigger screw.

i DONT recommend unscrewing any of the screws that hold it in. Instead there are metal clips that can EASILY be used to remove the bulb.
