How do you replace and gain access to the foglights?

I replaced my fog light bulbs with Silver Stars. It wasn't too bad, you reach in from the back of the fascia. I found it helpful to jack the car to reach the driver's side. For some reason the driver's side was worse to replace on my car. Don't know about HIDs, unless they use the same housing and bulb mount.

 

how much of an improvement did you see in actual fog penetration using the silverstars vs the stock prius fog lights

 

Anything has to be better than the OEM foglights. They're purely ornamental

 

The lights appear whiter but don't seem to project any farther. I replaced all the headlights and foglights on my wife's Outback, and the change was noticable. The HIDs overpower the wimpy fogs so much on the Prius, that the change to Silver Stars wasn't that dramatic. Don't pay full price, get them on sale, and see what you think.

 

I'm old. What ever happened to yellow fog lights? I thought yellow did a better job of cutting through fog and white was more reflective.

 

i was thinking about this upgrade myself

 

This is an old post but I just now had to fix my fog light assembly. Once the lower black covers are removed from the bottom of the car. You will have access to the fog light plug. It is easy to remove. Remove the front fog light shroud pushing the 2 tabs towards the rear of the car and pulling the shroud straight out. As you look at the fog light assembly, there is a small tab near the top left side of it. With a small screwdriver, push this tab to the left and pull the left side of the assembly out. The right side should come right out with a little tug. Now the difficult part. On the back of the assembly there is the adjustment screw for aiming the light. It has little tabs that need to be pushed in at the same time. This will allow the fog light assembly to be pulled out of the front of the bumper. It took me about 3 hours to struggle through this, as there is nothing on the web that shows it. After I fixed my light assembly with some silicon, it literally took me 10 minutes to put this thing back in. Enjoy, I hope this helps.
