Nice video....very rare...so it's much appreciated. I changed my driver's side fog light assembly today....WITHOUT pulling the bumper off.. At the fender liner, you can definitely finagle the fog light assembly out!!! Both bulbs on either side of assembly can be changed (left side or right) Thanks for the video David Campos.
I noticed your using ALLA bulbs for your driving/fog light's. 9055 is the factory bulb size. What ALLA LED bulb did you use? I tried using JDM ASTAR Extremely Bright High Power H10 9145 9140 9050 9155 LED Fog Light Bulbs, Xenon White but they do not align correctly with the socket. DO the ALLA bulbs your using fit properly? Thanks!
My Alla bulbs are H10 I order the wrong ones and just like yours they didn’t fit . But what I did I shaved down a bit the teeth’s on the bulb so they can barely fit the socket . I shaved it with a small razor blade , you can use anything like a pair of scissors or a small kitchen knife . The correct bulb is H12 / 9055 I just been too lazy to replace them to the correct since these are working perfectly fine .
I also order Alla H10, shaved the small tong down, I dont want the fog lights to be tooooo bright but brighter than the standard halogen bulb. Im gonna install my foglight assembly and bulbs this week. I really think It can be done without removing the bumper. I will see and report back. Thanks for the video CamposDavid. Edit: Got em installed...without removing bumper....YES...it's easy.... They look so nice....now I can't take the way the side marker halogen lights look....Sooooo I ordered some LEDs for that...it's double work but...even easier than the fogs to install cause side marker is right at the outer ends of the assembly. Thanks again CD
What’s up bro. I been looking at HiD replacements, and I actually found some nice Led one that throw no error and have built in fan for cooling.. had great reviews, most said the light was too bright , would you change your D1S to LED or would you keep the HID?
Kenny Mac the correct ones are H12 led bulb but I bought the wrong one (H10) I couldn’t find any H12 on Amazon. So I modified the H10 bulbs that I purchased. The way I was able to make them fit I just shaved off part of the teeth of the bulb . It’s hard to explain but I hope you get that I’m talking about . The teeth pattern are different for each bulb size . So I put the h10 over the fog light housing and saw how much I had to shave off . I was able to shave it off with a small knife/blade . It fit perfect after and they have been working every since then . It’s hard to find LED H12 bulbs . Maybe you’ll be able to find some and avoid all that trouble .
@@O4L. yeah you can just jack up the car and replace the bulbs alone . I removed the bumper because I replaced the whole assembly . Remember that the fog lights has 2 bulbs (Main Bulb & Corner Bulb)
Yeah in order to get to the bolts on each side of the bumper in order to remove the whole bumper. You can maybe get around by just taking off some clips and squeezing your hand in between but that'd be uncomfortable so might as well remove the wheel well. Not hard just a few clips
@@camposdavid0000 ok ty bro cuz I bought a new light for the driver side water was getting in so I got a new one but on the left side only one of thefog light come on

Another great Texas guy...watched dozens of videos... you are the BEST!!!!
Great video very detailed
I have a 2011 dts, have you Eva heard of the cornering light (Fog) light staying on, drivers side, after car is off?? Wondering why? 🤔
What size are those bulbs in the fog lights I’m trying to order led ones
The correct ones are H12 but I couldn't find any online not Amazon or ebay so I bought H10 and modified the small teeth on the light bulb
What’s the turning bulbs size and brand Thanks? They look different from the h12s
Sylvania 3157 LED. You can find them at Walmart or Amazon for cheap !! Autozone & o’Reillys have them but are kind of expensive.
What size socket for the 2 bolts on the foglamp?
7mm
Does your fog lamps come on when u use turn signals they dont blink they just turn on
Only the corner lights turn on when you put blinker on or when you turn the wheel . The fogs doesn’t do that
I noticed your using ALLA bulbs for your driving/fog light's. 9055 is the factory bulb size. What ALLA LED bulb did you use?

Thx for the video, hermano! Would you need to drop the whole front bumper to change one/any of the park assist sensors?
Yes bro, not that hard to drop the bumper tho just a few clips here and there and some 10mm nuts on each side of the car on the wheel well side
Faved for future consultation *Thumbs up
Nice job. Do you still have the DTS?
Yessir
What’s up bro. I been looking at HiD replacements, and I actually found some nice Led one that throw no error and have built in fan for cooling.. had great reviews, most said the light was too bright , would you change your D1S to LED or would you keep the HID?
Change to LED it looks much better I have a Cadillac DTS myself and loved the lights
@@bigcfinball1831 how did you do it?
where did you get those led bulbs from
Kenny Mac Amazon
@@camposdavid0000 thanks, but which ones did you get?

@@camposdavid0000 so if I just wanna change the bulbs, I can do so without taking the whole bumper off......I could just Jax up the front?
@@O4L. yeah you can just jack up the car and replace the bulbs alone . I removed the bumper because I replaced the whole assembly . Remember that the fog lights has 2 bulbs (Main Bulb & Corner Bulb)
Luuuuuvvvv that paint
Do you gtta take wheel well off bro
?

@@rigocastillo8929 check your wire connector that goes on each foglight
@@rigocastillo8929 or either the light bulb is blown or light bulb needs to be flipped around .
Just for a fog light change? Bloody heck!!!
It's bad enough that my fog light dropped out of place but I have to take off the bumper to put it back in.
Yeah bro
No, you dont have to take off the bumper for sure.
