Just undo the 6 screws that have red circles and the triangular piece on the bottom comes out with a lil force and tugging giving you access to the fogs.
The pics are pretty self explanatory with the exception for the mounting bracket. To make it fit with the 2 screws you have to trim the top part of the metal a little bit and round it more so it'll work. Also, the screw used to fasten the top of the bracket is a little bigger so just take a drillbit and minimally extend the top hole. The other side(bottom) of the bracket is fastened with a regular cable-tie.
The setup is the same on both sides of the car.

yes. I am pretty sure that all HID-Kits come with that mounting bracket. I've installed quite a few so far and they've all had that same mounting bracket even though the kits were from different manufacturers

Didn't the fogs give a code error on the dash? Did you put a resistor?

correction... unless they are super cheap.. the rule applies: if it's too good to be true, it is
If you guys want, i'll put together a groupbuy soon for a pretty good price. jagular already ordered one so once he puts it in, he can vouch for them
most likely i'll offer the fog hid-kit + matching high beams for 169.99.. beats others by far that only offer the fog hid-kit for 165 Also, my HID-Kits are German engineered so you know it's good stuff
Here's some pics.. What really sold me on the kits is the quality and the packaging. Never liked the kits that come in egg carton packaging, just looks crappy and cheap.
