just finished installing my new bulbs. thread helped a lot. i didnt see an access panel on the drivers side though. maybe on the 2007 models its not there but anyhow it only took 20-30 min. i think it looks great just gotta wait til it gets dark to take some real pics.
Glad this thread helped ALOT of my CL family members. Its threads like this that make this site so great. Now post more pics!

My pleasure Joe. It's good to know that my tips still work on the '08s. So whats the next mod planned for your '08? Oh, and thanks for posting pics!

My 08 did not have the access panel. I had to do the driver's side like the passenger side - pull off the wheel well plastic with those 2 clips and just muscle it out to change out the bulbs. Not too bad though - once you do 1 side you get the hang of it.

those lights look good but how yellow are they? are they significantly different from the hid fog lights?
i was thinking of getting either the 3000k 9006 hid fog lights from AAC or XD. any suggestions which one is better or any pics of cars installed with them??
also how hard is it to install the hids?

Their is a small screw on the bottom of the front bumper that holds the front lip on. It is easy to remove and is a must in order to pull out the plastic wheel well wall. Yellow fogs are a must, but with the reflector beam, they are not as powerful as the first gen's projector beam. It is a mod worth doing because the factory cream stock lights look terrible.

I'm looking at a XD 6500K headlight/Yellow fogs combination, myself.

Nothing Extreme at all... I wanna do something with my chrome grill and a custom exhaust.. Already have an intake...
I'm still debating tint..
BTW - Do you ever see any 2008 Liquide Graphite wheels laying around ???
or Do you have any good tips on a really good touch up paint for them??
I have two that took rock hits, and one of those just barely touched a curb which only chipped the paint
(thankfully no rash)

I can't for the life of me get one stubborn fender lining screw out. Arrgghhh!!! Anybody else have this problem? And since it's plastic, it's all damaged now. I've tried my hands, pliers, wrenches, teeth, tow truck, everything!
