How to change HIDs, Fog Lights & City Lights

By: VIP G from myg37.com

For everyone who has had a hard time or is confused about changing their headlight bulbs this is for you.

Today I wanted to check if I could remove my fog lights so I could change the bulbs. (the answer is yes) While I was at it I took so pictures and circled what is what.

These are the sizes needed:

HID: D2S
Fog: H1
Parking: 194

Here we go:

1. Loosen lug nuts on a front tire (I started with the left front one)

2. Jack car up and remove lug nuts and tire

3. pop out the three plastic clips on the wheel well so it can be folded behind the brake. after that you will see this once you look in their

Circled in red is the HID, Blue is the fog light, and Yellow is your parking lights

4. next step is to removed the covers of the HID’s and the fogs, just twist left and they should pop off and will look like this

Note: carefully with the fog cover because wires run through it, so don’t rip them out.

Now for each of the three bulbs its a little different:

HID’s
- twist HID connection to the left (circled in purple)

After this you will need to remove the screw using a small phillipshead. After that the light should come out easily.

Note: Be careful because the oil from your fingers will damage the bulb, so don’t touch it :tut

Then insert new bulb and do the steps in reverse

Fogs:
- Unscrew the 2 screws using a small phillipshead. Bulb should easily come out. You can leave the wiring connected so it won’t be a pain to reconnect the wire after you put it back in. (fogs are circled in blue)

Note: Be careful because the oil from your fingers will damage the bulb, so don’t touch it :tut

Insert new bulb then reverse the steps

Parking:
-This is the toughest to get to because the area is so tight. A long black plastic piece sticks out, so take that and twist to the left. Your bulb and will come out with it. (The area is circled in yellow)

Now insert new bulb and do the steps in reverse.

Sylvania D2S HID Capsule
Offer by: AutoBarn.com
Price: USD 109.95
4100K Replacement capsule for HID systems that call for a D2S capsule. Includes capsule only and not the igniter. 4100k is the ONLY OEM HID color temperature. Price is for a single capsule. D2S is short for ''discharge second generation shielded''. These are found in vehicles that have projector headlamps with light shield You can spot a D2S capsule by looking at the glass -- if there is no metal shielding around the glass, you have a D2S. D2S actually provides about 10% more light than the identical D2R part. Unlike halogen incandescent lamps, the OSRAM/Sylvania lamp does not have a filament. Instead, it creates light from an electrical discharge between two electrodes in a micro-environment of xenon gas, mercury, and metal halide salts that are hermetically sealed in a tiny quartz capsule. The arc tube is encased in a glass jacket to filter ultraviolet rays. The light is emitted by an electrically energized gas -- a plasma discharge -- formed and sustained between two electrodes. The Luminarc system includes an electronic ballast that controls the arc ignition process and sustains the arc in normal operation.
