Could someone give me a step-by-step instuctions on how to replace those bulbs, I have the trd kit so if someone has that or the action package and has replaced them could you help? I think you have to take the bumber off. and I don't know how to do that so if you could just give me steps from the garage door out. You would help me ALOT! THANK YOU!

Please anything, just anybody who has done it ? I know those bulbs have a wire coming off them, where does it go ? where do I change them in the housing of the stock fogs?? Any info would be nice!

Hi Twins, I have the TRD front lip spoiler, so it's not quite the same thing, but here's some info:
1) I unscrewed the underbody plastics from under the bumper, and bent them back a bit, to force a flash light in there
2) The fog lights are covered with a rotating cap on the back, rotate it by about 45 deg and pull it off to get access to the inside of the lamp.
3) Inside there's a clip holding the bulb down. Press towards the bulb, then sideways, and it weill release the bulb, still hanging from the wire.
4) Now you can put in the new bulb, but make sure not to touch it (latex gloves help).
5) put the cllip back on, screw the cap on, pull out the flashlight, and put the screws for the engine plastics back.
I used a smalll mini-mag light which really helped. You can't actually see the lamp without taking the bumper off, but if you know what to do, you can feel your way through it (done it twice now). Make sure your ignition is OFF! It may be different because of the different bumper though - hope that helped.

ya I have the full control of fogs, so I never leave that ignition ON! NEVER! hehe. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! , thats what I thought and I got half way through removing those and I saw that cap, thought about twisting it off and then wondered hmm if thats a waterproof seal thats going to mess up something or other so I just decided to wait. Well that'll make a huge difference I like these blues then my old super whites and never changed out the fogs and got tired of driving around when those fogs light up the road so well. Thank you very very very much. If you ever need any help on anything in my list I'll throw you any info I can!
