Thank you, lol.
Do you have a relay harness installed?
I have 6000k Mtec headlights, LED city lights, and currently yellow bulbs for my fogs, but I was thinking about going for a more uniform look. But I read on some other car forums about HID kits, especially in the fog lights, that have caused electrical problems.

If i install hids in my foglights, how can i access to the foglights, i have the kits from a previous car already and id like to try this out.
Any Easy Way?
edit - i learned by turning my tires the other way and take 3 screws off (theres one tho that i cant get off) in the wheel well section (thats a easy access to the fogs isnt it?)
Id like to try this sometime but wanted to doublecheck to make sure im doing it the right way

Replacing City Running Light Bulbs
Anyone have any tips on removing these bulbs? I have the BIX headlights but I imagine the process should be similar on the halogen headlights as well. I was reading some of the older posts on this and some people recommended using pliers but its impossible to get an angle on these darn bulbs, even using angled pliers!
How can I get these out?

Running lights? Why do you even need tools? I use my bare hands. (yes I also have Bix)
Open the high beam cover. Reach in, pull bulb out. Stick new bulb in. You don't even need to twist, they just go in and out with a *click*.

im in ct... nope thats why i got bulbs and not leds because you dont have to mess with resistors and stuff.. it functions like stock bulbs its just white because the bulb uses a blue glass.. so it works like stock just diff color
