replacing fog lights

hey guys---im thinking of replacing my factory "halogen" fog lights with Silverstars.....has anyone attempted it, and if so, is it fairly easy to do like the headlight bulbs, or is there a 2-day horror story attached--like removing the bumper or something? also, what type of bulbs do the fog lights use?

RE: replacing fog lights

Mine were difficult to remove...my friend did it at his shop...took about an hour I'd say.
He took off the piece under the front bumper and even with that...it was hard to reach.
I actually replaced the entire fog light assembly...I wanted the clear ones to match the xenon headlights...looks nice.
I'll post a pic tomorrow.
