DIY updated with pictures.

Anyone know how to force the forum to fit the pictures within standard boundary w/o me having to resize it? The text gets very fuzzy if I do

That's nice. I wish someone would produce an airduct foglight combo for the faux ducts in the bumper.

Is there a direct plug and play that doesn't involve any cutting or drilling or any kind? If so, what is it?

You're kidding, right?

RTFM!!!

BTW, it's right next to the headlight switch on the stalk. Turn that "ring" with the foglamp marking on it.

I'd like to replace the yellow fogs with something bright white/blue, but these DIYs are much more involved than I want to get into for this project. Is all this necessary just to change bulbs?

it sounds a lot more involved than it actually is. once you get the tire off, it takes MAYBE 10 minutes. easiest and fastest mod yet besides LED's

EDIT: and just an FYI for the OP and everyone else...HPA is using a newer, easier fog HID ballast that is a lot simpler. No cutting, drilling, simply mount the ballast and then plug/play

yes. It is a REAL plug and play. there is a ballast that has to be "stuck" (pardon the pun) somewhere but other than that it truly is a plug and play

I've had these installed for a while now and no problems so far. Hopefully it stays that way
