Where did you get them? Brand, model and retailer if possible. Did you do the install yourself? Was it hard to do? Did this on my Benz the hardest part was jacking up the front all the screws that had to be removed to take down the plastic cover underneath.

Super easy, just snap off grill around fog light. I found link I found link on forum " Cree 20 watt led bulbs" the one I bought are 40 watt and came with resistor modules so not to set codes. I went to amazon an searched for best price.... 80 or so dollars....

As far as I can tell H 8 and H 11 use same base. The ones I installed are H8 and worked fine

Once you get the grill off trere are 2 8mm bolts on the bottom of the light assembly. Remove bolts then there is a tab on the back top of the light push the tab up and th ligh slides out the front to disconnect tht connector.....

Is it the tiny rectangle tab you're referring to press?

Nvm, I end up just twisting the light bulb harness, pulled it out then squeezed the tabs to replace the bulbs. Thx again for your help.

Just to clarify (since I do not have the car yet). The fog lights are normally yellowish-white but the halo ring and the headlights are normally the led white color like the ones you installed in the fog lights? Or are the halo ring, headlights and fog lights all normally yellowish?
