sweeeeet... thank you so much for posting... it seems you are happy with the 2500's in the fog spot... and from the looks of your car, it appears you have good taste as well.
I'm ordering my 2500's for the fogs immediately!!! now the DRL's... since you have them and can see them in person (also on a white car), what do you think about the 2500's in the DRL spot??? If you do throw them in, please at least post what you think, if not pics ![]() thanks again!!!! Also, are the fogs (or drl's) hard to get to/change?? you da man!!! thanks for the pics... |

fogs are really easy to swap out, for the drl.. ![]() i think it took me 30+ mins the first time i swapped the drl or better yet, actually got them out lol. that retarded plastic clip/retainer can be a pita.. keep in mind, i do remove the wheel when i swap these as i couldn't imagine trying to get the drl bulb out with the wheel on.

uh oh... I hope you are kidding...
I have to remove the wheel to remove the drl's??? ouch... I don't even have a jack lmao. I looked in there quickly just now, it was a little dark, but I'm hoping with my small hands I could do it... that sucks big time if the wheel has to be removed... both wheels??? what that means really is... have to pick the right ones the first time!!! what about the fogs?? does the wheel have to be removed to get to those too??? |

hmm.. it may be possible accessing the drl bulb with the wheel on but personally i couldn't see how unless you have some super long arms. however, the fogs are really easy to access and i am sure you can swap those w/o removing the wheel or liner (remove the bottom screws and pull away liner to get access).
i will snap some pictures when i swap out the drl's so you get a better idea. i believe there are some pics as well in the dyi. either way you do it, good luck!

lol hated...
Maybe I'll just leave them off and not do anything, and put the 2500's in the fogs and be done.... problem is, I think they will look good or at least different, having the 2500's in the drl's... I don't see that very often like the super whites that a lot of people have in their drl's, whether it be bmw or something else. anyways.... I'm going to order the fogs today and take a close look at how tough it is to remove the drl's lol. I'm very un-mechanical and while I can get simple things done, when they get tougher, I get lazy lol....

I ordered yellow fogs and drl's....
but maybe I should get a set of 4350's or better yet, 6000's for the drls since it is such a job to replace, too much work for trial and error with different bulbs lol.
