Do a search on superjoe's posts, he put up detailed pics and instructions. Looks easy enough, he actually did ted920's right in the parking lot of one of our meets.

hey man i have em, here is some install advice:

1) for the passenger side turn ur wheel all the way to the left so ur tires are out of the way, for drivers side turn all the way right. Look behind the front bumper the black protective plastic in the wheel wheel. there is a screw there, un-screw it. now unscrew two screws at the bottom of the bumper - same black plastic protective stuff.

2) with all the screws off you should be able to pull the bumper out, and pull the plastic up letting just enough room for your hand and a wrench. its tight work and u have to do it all by feel.

3) start by removing the bulb inside. twist counter clockwise and pull out. Make sure u'll be able to find it after!!

4) feel the screws? they are bolts and then big circles. those circles are ATTACHED to the bolt. i think its a 10mm bolt so use a 10mm wrench or ratchet.

5) keep the old screws and then pull out the stock unit, install in reverse order and push the black plastic stuff back when ur done.

hope this helps, its exactly what i did but im not responsible for any problems u may have.

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely use this instead if I ever have to change the bulbs. I've been wanting to change the bulbs for some time now. During installation I opted for the Lexus Rules way, but now that I know it can be reached from the fog light, I'll try that. It seems quicker and easier. Thanks again!
