Fog Lights

Does anyone know how to remove the fog lights and replace the bulbs? I want to put xenon bulbs inside instead of the traditional color that's in there...

I removed mine yesterday. If you look under the top part of the fog light cover, you'll see a groove. Put your fingers into this groove and pull. It may take a few pulls but it comes right out with some elbow grease. Don't be afraid to pull on it for it does come out just the way I described. It's held in there with plastic clips attached to the cover. Once removed, remove the two screws, then twist the bulb out and you're finished.

When putting aftermarket bulbs with the same OEM wattage, is it necessary to have a wiring harness?
MatzoballsX5> Does the bulb you're getting recommend a wiring harness?

The lights I'm planning on installing are Super White Kodo Lighting xenon lights. The second to last step in installation says, "Plug the harness in the back of the bulb." Is that what you mean? I'm not really sure what a wiring harness is.
