This DIY is to cover the installation of the DDM Tuning 9006 Fog Light bulbs.
They are a good bit larger than the bore of the fog light housing, and this DIY will cover removal, boring, and reinstall of the lamp housing.
This was done an an 03 model. I can not speak for certain if it applies to an 05-08, as the fog housings are different.
These bulbs:

Tools needed:
8mm wrench / socket
Carbide cutting bit
Drill
Phillips screw driver
30mins of free time
Install:
Remove the three 8mm bolts that mount the fog light to the bumper.
Remove the 4 phillips head bolts holding the housing together.
When you look inside the housing, you'll notice the lip preventing the bulb from setting in.
Take your cutting bit and remove 1mm of the lip to make it even with the rest of the housing.
The bulb should now fit and lock in place perfectly.
Resecure the 2 housings together, and re-mount the lense to the bumper. Plug in the bulb and enjoy.

Final impression:
Light output was not as great as I was hoping for with an LED bulb, but thats alright, I bought these as more of a goof around "for the hell of it" mod, than anything else.
The look of these bulbs paired with my 6k HID's in fantastic, and I don't regret the purchase.
