I hate the look of the stock fog lights yellow color so I ordered a set of XenonMatch bulbs from HOEN. I had them on my MZ3 and they matched the HIDs nicely.
Im looking to see in anyone has instructions on R&R the fog light bulbs on a MazdaSpeed6. I could probably figure it out without instructions but I prefer knowing what Im taking apart before I do so... Any help is appreciated...

Dang noobs never search. (naughty)

If you read the Hoen thread from before (http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123687791&highlight=fog) you'd already know there is a complete walkthrough (http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123661988&highlight=fog) of replacing the fog lights on this forum.

Sheesh, some people... (lol)

Good luck with the install!

Jack up the car and place on jack stands.

Take the under panel off. It has a few screws and rivets,

Drivers side is easy as all you have to do is remove the bulb and replace it. Forgot which way to turn to make it loose but its easy.

Passenger side, I took the two horns off for easy access because there was too many things down there(resevoir..etc..etc..)

Voila, there you have it.

No need to search my friend, this is too easy for you to even waste time searching.

hope this helps

yea looking at the links provided it appears to be easy as pie. I work at a car dealer so a lift will make things much easier than jackstands....

4k matches the stock HIDs.
I have an 06, but both take the same bulb.

Hallogen lights (H11) that match. The complete walkthrough link shows someone upgrading their lights to HID (ebay purchase).

So, are you done yet?
I mean, how long does it take to change a light bulb? (thought)

ordered hoen's friday and came today. installed them and they look good. took like 10min to put them in. having the cobb intake left room to change the driver side one from in the engine bay. for the passenger side i just took out those 4 bolts, took at the horn (1 bolt) then took at the light.

Anybody else? (pics)

i'll try and take a picture of mine later. you should replace those lights closest to the grille with some that match. I did and it looks better.

Actually, I replaced the stock white ones with yellow (crappy cameraphone). I like to be a little different... (2thumbs)
I've also replaced all the other lights on the car with white LEDs. I get a lot of compliments on the interior lights.

Yeah, yeah... While you figure out how to change a light bulb I'm going to install a Mazda alarm shock sensor. Bet I'll finish before you. (rofl2)

No you neglected to mention that. (gun)
