Fog light BULB replacement
I'm planning on restoring my stock fog lamps in my 2000 xj sometime soon. There must be a crack in both of them somewhere, because they are both getting pretty swampy inside.
1st, is it possible to replace the bulb within the assembly? or do I have to just buy a new set of fog lights? I know the bulb is a 55w h3, but I don't know if i will be able to get to it without breaking the light.
2nd, would I be able to drop a xenon h3 in it to replace it? I believe that you need some type of conversion kit when switching to xenon in a normal headlight, but I may be mistaken. I was hoping to put something like this in to replace the normal halogen - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-White-5000K-H3-Halogen-Xenon-Bulbs-For-Fog-Lights-or-Driving-Lamps-/131155609156?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e897bc644.
I recently bought the Truck-lite LED headlights, and fogs with a cooler temperature to match would look much better. (outstanding headlights, btw. worth every penny.)

What's up sir:
1)Yes it is possible to replace the bulb in the assembly. Simply unscrew the bottom plates on the fogs to replace the light.
2) You should be good to go. I replaced mine with halogens and they work fine, however my new fogs came with bulbs installed so checked your new set first unless you are going for the xexon look.
