I wrote the problems in your threads and because of that i didn´t changed the parking light bulbs and with the LEDs i got a warning.

But the lenses of the foglights are made of glas and not plastic, so i hope they are more restistant - but i will have a look.

Did you notice, that the stock parking light bulbs are philips blue vision already and they should have a 3400k light, that matches the xenon better than normal bulbs?

They should just twist off Chris. You must have a bad seal or something. There should be no condensation? If both are affected that would seem odd. Have the dealer check them out (under warranty). haudimal, your correct they are a PITA to change unless you have hands the size of a 5 year old! I did it after cussing and fussing for God knows how long. You need to jack the front end up to do it (better on a lift) or remove the entire front bumper which is not absolutely necessary.

haudimal, great idea! I'll check into seeing if I can get those 3400k bulbs and I'll double check to make sure that they don't burn 15 degrees hotter than stock.

It took me a VERY long time getting those foglight bulbs changed. I finally gave up on one and took it to my dealership. They were happy to finish the job for me. It took the technician exactly 2.5 minutes to make the swap!

Stock TT bulbs are indeed blue tinted from the factory, but they dont match low beams at all.
