How do you change the foglamp housing on the BRZ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I recently bought this one :

and when i check online, the videos are usually replacing whole assemblies (which require maybe lifting the car up, and removing the bottom cover of the bumper) while others are just bulb changes which just need 3 clip removals.

Havent seen a video on chaging the housing only, will it be sufficient to just turn the tire and remove 3 clips in the wheel well to fit this thing?

The housing comes out the same way as if you were changing the bulb, it's that easy. No need to remove the bumper, access it thru the fender liner.

Thank you, and I am guessing what shipped to me had no adapters to h11 yet?

I made this video a while back, it goes step by step and shows the housing differences.

Your instinct is right, jack the front end up, pop the front wheels off, undo the pins holding the fender liners in place, and remove the housing, effectively.

Thanks buddy, last question.. notice from my uploaded photo holding it, there are two wires, red and black, with ends seemingly covered in insulation. Do i just pull off the tubes of insulation and they go straight into the black sockets in the photo? or is there crimping and wiring to do? Im not sure how to "install" the wires into the included black PSX socket :P

No crimping. They will snap in. I wouldn't do anything, though, until you get the adapters. You need to see which way the adapter plugs in, and then see which way that PSX socket connects to the adapter, and make sure you insert the red and black wires into the right side - otherwise it's a HUGE PITA to get those wires back out once you clip them in (ask me how I know...)

But yeah, no crimping. They snap in.
