For the Fogs .i used .... piaa xtreme force 4700k hb bulbs ~ $65
for the side wedges ....PIAA 168 Wedge Xtreme White Bulb - 2 pack~ $15
for the back blinkers....Polarg ? B1 Hybrid Hyper White 1156 21W ..kinda had to jimmy them in....NOT a perfect fit but still worked great ....~ $12
For the Front headlight blinker.. i went to Kragen and bought these 7440 super white bulbs.... ~$7 ...
looks a lot cleaner than amber..... not really legal BUT i drive a BMW and not a lowered honda..so five-O is not gonna mess with me.... i hope
i just need to find the LED strip lights on the headlight in white .. its amber right now ...any suggestions ?
and instead of dropping $1K just to remove the tiny amber part of the headlamp... i am gonna put vinyl ( sign material ) on the amber part the same color as my car...titanium...

Need help..
bottom belly pan is not coming out, I have loosen all the screws as noted above and I can move around the pan, but it's not coming out. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Once you take all the screws out.. i think they are 5 total ... then the bottom 2 ...you have to use a little force to pull out and under the front spoiler piece... dont worry it will bend a little..then the bottom pan just hangs....
from there if you look above ...you'll find the fog lamp...

[/quote]They dont have to come out they just hang there but they should feel like they are ready to drop out...but they will stay in the pan....the belly pan has to slide under the front spoiler lip...you have to push it in and down and out of its designated area...
hope that made sense

[/quote]The Bottom two screws do come out but like Ras said it doesnt have it. Just take one of them out and find locate the bulb dont worry once you yank the screw out you'll see why it felt like it wasnt going to come out.
Once you SEE where the bulbs are you wont have to remove the other side's bottom pan as you'll know where the fogs are and can reach in there to pull them out.
Thats what I did... removed the pan on one side and the other side I didnt have ot and it was a 3 min job.
