Default H11 foglight replacement done, took 40 minutes. No bumper removal req'd. But....

i used the audigeek.com write-up and pic as reference...

i asked my gf to do this but she didn't (she's got the flu);

so i did it;

i scratched my wrists, my palms are bloody and my inner palm has deep lacerations from the vent opening plastic... my palms are too big and could not rotate freely to remove the tight connection; then when i plugged it back, the holes didn't line up.

i had to twist the **** outta my arms/wrist to get the connection loose; then i couldn't line-up the bulb; i kept trying and injurying my wrist more and more.

however, 45 minutes later, both bulbs were swapped;

my polarg yellow-ion H11s look sick.

i like this mod;

thank you guys!

with aloha,

mike chen

Default I didn't. I squeeze my fat palms into the intercooler opening, resulting in my injuries.

But my fogs look sick as ****.

Default Aloha! I got all my parts directly from Germany from my distributor. Wrenched on it w/my crew.

Did the installation of everything myself, except the exhaust which had to be installed at a shop. The sounds, again, were done by myself. Everything mirror'd the B6.
