Fog light replacement bulbs...

Want to replace the lower fog/driving light bulbs on my 55 with something better/whiter. What's regarded as the proper setup here, that's reliable with no warning light issues? BTW, it's an 030, so the lamp may be different than the others, I have not checked. Thanks for the info...

I putted Xenon light in to fog place. It looks quite good, but I only use it for "leading home" function.

Uh....

I assume this means you replaced your lamp? And I further assume this means you don't use them unless you want to light up your garage or driveway, right?
Thanks, but still looking for some accurate info here. And remember, it's an 030, so lights are different...

I just replaced bulbs to xenon with blocks that convert the possibility to work for them.

Again.....

um....
OK, once more, can someone direct me to a current thread that tells me 1) what's the best bulb replacement for the lower driving/fog lamps 2) and what are you replacing the center "city" or parking lap bulb with to get rid of those oawful yellow ones? Of course, I don't want to trip any warning lights..surely you guys are doing this. The others look awful.
Thanks for the help.

Please show me

Please show me how to remove the bulbs in these. I looked underneath, but not sure how to get to the fog light bulbs.

thanks!
