Sorry new guy here. I don't know if anyone mentioned but in my opinion removing the air intake and changing the bulbs are much easier than jacking up the car, removing the wheel, and the wheel well guards.

D2S OSRAM XENARC 66240 CBI 5000K CRYSTAL WHITE | 1 PAIR
Part #: D2S_OSRAM_5K

I just received these headlight bulbs I installed them and in 2 days one doesn't work already. I thought these suppose to be good bulbs anybody have a problem with these before.

Is removing the air intake easier to replace the bulbs than jacking up the car and taking out the wheels? Seems excessive to do all that just to change bulbs. Thoughts?

Taking the wheel off is the easiest way and then you just have open up that protector cover and the headlight bulb is right there. I did it without even taking the wheel off I just turned the tire to the left or right as far as it goes and just reached in like that.

I beg to differ. I said intake is easier because you don't have to remove the wheel well cover. And you don't need to jack your car up

I did mine through the wheel wells, turn the wheels all the way right or left, pop out two clips and reach in there. No removal of anything and done in 5 minutes.

Quick question, replaced my City and Fogs with LEDs from Diode Dynamics and while the City lights look great. I can't get the fogs to light up. Even tried swapping them like you do with the interior ones if they don't light. Any ideas? I know the fog lights worked before. Is there a fuse that just covers the fogs? Didn't check that yet and at work away from car.
thanks

Bulbs were ~85 for the pair, bought them from my work. They're D2S I believe.
