TPS are usually simply replacements, took me all of 5 minutes to change out mine in my old Escort. Usually 2 or 3 screws/bolts and a plug.

well I put in green fog lights and didnt give me a lot of visibility with them in but the white ones that came with them make it a little brighter than my stock headlights im going to take pics of them at night and i will post them. the TPS was simple two bolts which took tx20 to take them out

The fogs look pretty cool, not my style but they do look nice on your car. I'm not too keen on green bulbs however.......

Why did you change your tps did you happen to coat the hell out of your intake filter with oil by chance? Or did it go bad for other reasons.

The lights are called Pilot Driving Lights, the button is way down at the very end of the plastic i rest my knee in that area and it doesnt touch it, im going to put the white back in just cause the green are more yellow and one of the bulbs have a short in it, and i dont know why my TPS went out thats what the code I got from the car said and what other people said it would be so I changed it and if it still has the problem I can return the part and try something else
