Aren't the fogs HB4/9006?
And, to the poster who wants to use LEDs for the foglights, do some searching. I have only seen two kinds of posts about using LEDs for foglights; either they seem to be okay (in the short run) or they created a lot of problems.

Ended up doing the 5's all around and the WLED in the trunk. Everything looks good. The map lights could be a bit brighter, but it still looks good to the point where im not gonna order different leds.

For the map lights I used the same screwdriver, a small one might be easier but with tape also and pried on the end where it presses down.
They both just pop off.

For the door I used a fairly normal size screwdriver with masking tape on the end to "soften" it. Then pried it right where the plastic light curves.

Mine should arrive next week and I was about to ask this same question.

Also, careful on the map lights, if you do your door lights first and these are on for a while they get pretty hot 
Once you pop out the door lights, unless you have some small fingers pliers may be useful to gently pull out the bulb.

Regarding the door lights, they are held by clips on their right/left ends, so you want to pry it out there. They come out fairly easily, and can be unplugged from the harness.
I found that I had to also pop the lens/cover off the door lights to change the bulbs easier.. they're held by tiny visible clips. I tried using pliers initially but was afraid I'd crack the bulb~

Nice wording at the end.Anyway, you sure they going on the right way and not backwards? If so, give it a light, but firm tap to seat it right.
