1. Undo a few bolts on your splash guard
2. Lift it up a little to get access to the fog light
3. Take out light
4. Reverse this process with new lightbulb



Done.

After I installed the fog, i've been too lazy to take picture and add on the web. so.. finally i went out into the rain with bathrobe on, and took some pictures of the new fog lights.

~off Topic~
Also I was playing around with iWeb (Apple's homepage creating software), and made some solara picture page. Please take a look and let me know how you think..

Mine is Nokya Hyper Yellow 2500K.
the bulb type is H10.
First I got Halo bulb off eBay, but found that it is like 100W, which seems way too high, so i bought Nokya, which is 45W.
I believe the stock is something like 35W.

Hope this would help
