The manual is referring to fog lights, but if you have DRLs it doesn't mention what bulbs needed. Also, the manual does give you all the steps how to get the bottom removed to have these bulbs replaced. Btw, I ordered 1156 LEDs and will take some pictures once I get them installed. If someone could help me out how to get to the right fog light I would really appreciate this.

I can't remember all the steps... I believe I removed the plastic covers under the bumper(removed the clips and bolts).... then removed the black thing(don't know what it's called) that is under the bumper (the one with the air vent/hole that brings air to the oil cooler-not sure if this is an oil cooler but it looks like a mini radiator)... then there is a plastic thing in front of the oil cooler.. I removed that also.. after that I was able to reach the bulb....

if I remember it correctly there is 1 bolt that you have to remove to get the air vent out of the way.....

Success! I replaced DRL, parking light and license plate, all in about an hour. The painful part was rear side of the car. It was pain to get parking light replaced and it took me 30 mins to figure out how to get to DRL also on the right side.

I know you all want to know about brightness. Well, DRLs are slightly less brighter then stock OEM, but at least they are nice color. I will take some pictures tomorrow. I was in a rush today and tried to get this finished.
