Question Touring Fog light bulb replacement instructions anyone?

I bought Ion Crystal Amber H3 55W bulbs to replace the 35W clear ones but am not sure how to open them up. I don't want to break anything. Has anyone sle done this? I took one screw off and the light is hanging by the wires but i'm not sure if that disconects with a plug or not?

Thumbs up OK, I figured it out

THere is one screw for each of the fog lights and it is towards the center of the mouth. Right side of left fogh light and left side of right one. Unscrew those. Then on the outside of the lights, there are two pegs that go in towards the fenders, so slide the lights towards the center.

Flip the lights over. On the bottom an oval lid screws open to reveal the bulb. It uses the same type of clip as the head lights.

Answers for both:

On the bottom of the foglights is the port that opens to replace the bulb. You can remove the one screw and pull the whole foglight off if you want to make it easier. Once you have access to the port on the bottom, you turn it 1/4 turn in the direction the arrow points and it pulls out. Then it's as simple as pulling the spring clip off and replacing the bulb.

Second question, they are usually in the $20-30 range because they are H3 which isn't that popular a size. I have a set of Ion Yellow PIAA H3's that I never used. If you are interested drop me a PM. They are almost TOO bright. Almost.
