You can access them through the wheel wells or by removing the undercarriage. The undercarriage is the easiest. Check out this video..
 
Thank You NashFX for the video. I have been going in through my wheel well and it was extremely tight. This looks so much easier!!
 
I put in the cheap Ebay 60 watt led lights. They still look great, even after a year. I put HID's in my 2011 FX35 and would like to do that again on my FX50s. Your video looks way easier and I will definitely be doing it that way. Thanks again

I was able to access the fog light housing through the undercarriage. Change fogs to LED and those are whiter and brighter than the regular headlights. Highly recommend elevating the front wheels or front end, I didn’t and was on the ground with a 8 inch clearance. After unbolting the undercarriage I was afraid if damaging the front bumper so I didn’t separate everything like the video, but was able to reach in and blindly exchange everything
 
So I just purchased the Morimoto LED fog lights and have to swap out the oem housing and bulbs for the Morimoto LED plug and play LED fog lights.

Well I tried to install them and it was a pain in the @*s. I decided to take off the undercarriage part and access the fog lights that way. The bolts were rusted and like five of them snapped luckily I had some laying around from my old fx35. I ended up braking the fog light Bezel since I had to pull the fog lights out to swap them out.now I have to buy new bezels and also figure out where in the world is the fog light fuse bc it appears a fuse was blown.

I sympathize with your headache, I remember the days when I question why I started a project in the first place and then the mod bug bites again. You’ll get it perfect, keep with it!

Looks great, I believe that I have a similar reflection, I have the aero kit also.
 
Yeah it has to be the Aero lip because mine doesn't reflect like that, but i'm about to put the lip on so i will find out.

OCAL - What temp fogs did you put in the 5500K?

Do you like the color temp on them?? i actually hate the color of them so i bought the 6500K ones and i'm about to put them on when i go to put my lip on.

These LED fog lights were only 5500k. I like it it does not bother me much. Can’t really tell if they look any brighter or not from the HID headlights

I literally just bought a set of the morimotos last night for roughly $150.. I believe you can adjust the projection of the lights to eliminate your reflection issue.. Im almost certain I read on their website about being able to adjust them.
