]I just received my LED bulbs and decided to installed them.

I wanted to see if the LED are even bright enough for my LIKING before I buy HIDS to put in the fog housing.

They are very easy to installed, I can do it with my eyes closed. I rate this a 1 out of 10 scale from easy to hardest. took me about not even a minute to do one side.

THE ONLY TOOL YOU NEED IS A SCREW DRIVER

The LED bulbs I bought.

1. Unfasten the 1 and only screw on the fog light bezel.

2. Pull the right side of the fog bezel out and it will slide out easy.

What brand of LED bulbs are those and where did you get them? Also, how do they illuminate? Are they brighter than stock and do they light up the road at night like the stock bulbs. Just curious... I drive a lot of dark backroads with deer everywhere. Thanks.
 
Sorry... I posted in the wrong spot (I think)

You can buy them off ebay. I had a 102 smd led but they were not too bright. Maybe the Hi-power CREE leds would be better, but they might cost as much as a set of DDM HIDs.
 
Is this a 9th gen? My Si has 2 screws. Might be slightly different. I'm in the process of changing them out right now. I'll let ya know if it's any more difficult. That extra screw might prove to be a challenge.
 
Yeah not too difficult at all. At first I was a lil scared to just pull the fog light housing out but after a little left to right tugging I got the tabs loose and it just came right out. Then a quick turn of the bulb and they were out. Thanks for the DIY.

Here's a pic of my yellow 3k bulbs installed.
