H11 for low, 9005 for high, and 9004 for fogs.

Did anyone notice in the manual that the fog lights = 9004 was "Type F", which is then listed as HB4 on the bottom?? Typo?

Default Jdm Yellow

The bulb is 9004 and I'm doing the same thing. I just ordered 9004 bulbs in JDM yellow from Luminicsbulbs.com. When you order the bulbs it comes with a free LED light keychain, a plus I guess.

Might want to return those 9004s... I was a bit skeptical so I took out the fog light bulb today. Sure enough, they were 9006 Sylvanias.

how hard is it to remove the fog light bulbs? Do you have to remove the fog light housing, or do you just unscrew the bulb from behind?

The eaisest way is to access the fog light housing from behind the bumper. Just tilt your wheel in to get some room, fully remove 2 of the push in screws and unscrew the philips head one on the bottom of the bumper, pry out the plastic gurard (use a flat head screwdriver carefully) and you can get access to the back of the bulb. Rotate counterclockwise and you're in business.

As for the cost, some of these bulbs go for as cheap as $15 on ebay, but the higher quality ones from Piaa are upwards towards $80-100 a pair.

Just what I was afraid of--I had to do that to access Infiti G35's headlights and it was a major pain. Are IS 's headlights/turn signals also accessed this way?

The headlights and turn signals are accessed in the engine compartment. The high beam and parking light are easy to get to, but i couldn't see that much room to work with the low beams or the signal lights.

For the turn signals, I think your gonna have either access under the bumper or remove the bumper to install the lights because it looks like there is no way to access it from the engine compartment.
