Yeah there are tabs holding the cover in place, you can see them from the rear.

Agreed. In insight on how to get them off?

I am currently using Nokya "Hyper Yellow" H11 bulbs for my fogs. They work great.

I also used the same brand and type in both my Evos and my Lancer Ralliart. In my Evo 8 they worked fine for over 5 years.

Best thing is that they are under $20.

I'd greatly appreciate that man. Thanks.

^ Those were the same ones I had in mine and they blew after 6 months. I was kinda disappointed in them. I heard everybody else have nothing but great things about them, so maybe it was just my set. I'm going the lens cover route this time because it's too damn hard to switch out the fogs in these car.

5 months? either you got a defective set or you touched them before installing.

Hard to switch fogs? It takes maybe 5 mins? You reach underneath, disconnect, twist and pull and reverse the steps to install. You don't even need any tools other than your hands.

You have to take out the entire headlight assembly.. Unless I've been doing it wrong.

??????

No you don't. You literally do what I outlined above. The fogs aren't even part of the headlight assembly.

I take out my headlight assembly; less hassle as you can see what you're doing.

 

[razorlab]

Alrighty, you guys have fun with that.

I know I was able to install mine in under 5 minutes, with zero hand tools and I could see what I was doing the whole time. That is way less hassle than taking the head lights out.

Go from underneath the car.

 

[Hijinx]

I can't fit under my car to see anything, or reach in far enough to grab the bulbs.

Use a jack?

 

[Hijinx]

I've already changed mine; it's easier for me to remove the headlights. *shrug*

Again, less hassle to remove the headlights.

 

[razorlab]

I must have angel hands or something. Oh well, always more than one way to do something!

 

[stuntdoogie]

Check pepboys for tje yellow bulbs that's where I got mine $24.99

The headlights take like 30 seconds each to remove and reaching up from under is easy too! Both ways are easy, lol

Any update on their photos? How'd the installation go??

i was realllly gona do the photos but after pulling the headlight out (1 min tops) its jus so easy to change the bulbs that way there is no point in screwing around trying to remove the fog assembly. i was going to go yellow film originally which is why i wanted to pull the fog out, but i just went silverstar everywhere. more adult appearance in my mind. sorry man!

 

[Kip2MyLou]

No problem man. Mind posting what yellow fogs you purchased?
