Default Installed my PIAA Xtreme White Fog Light Bulbs

Total time about 45 minutes. Most of the time was taken trying to loosen the lower-middle inside clip on each of the two grills. You need a long narrow flat blade screw driver to slide in between the tab and the slot of each lower clip. Once you have it loose (along with the other two clips) then you can pull the grills out/off. The others loosen very easily as had been mentioned in earlier posts. The rest of it is very easy to figure out (3 screws to undo along with a cap that twists off on the back of the fog light "housing").
The lights are 55W. They look much nicer than the original which have a "warmer" appearance to them. I compare it to the difference between "cool white" and "warm white" florenscent tube lights found in offices.

Maybe I'll make the stock fogs my turn signals. They are useless.

Default Got them at Nextcollection.com @ $135 - How to have fog lights and parking lights on w/o main bulbs?

Ordered on-line, got them within a week. First order had a broken bulb. No problem returning them, got an authorization on line and got the replacement within 7 days. I noticed that the light is a brighter white, not the "warmer" color of the original. Now if I could figure how to get the parking and fog lights on without the main lights would be a blessing. Any suggestions?
