I think the fogs look better with the yellow!!
Espically the effect it will give the housing in the day time..
Plus it pays homage to us 1st Gen IS owners..

Nice job!
Will do so on my IS this weekend since I've never figured out how to do it and was afraid I would break something in the process of bending the fender wall.
This might be off topic but has anyone figured out to rewire the lights to just have the fogs on? I don't want to do it because it looks rice but it is actually useful when it is foggy and just have to fogs on. I know on some European cars, you can just turn on the fogs without head lights.

Installed my fogs last night. The driver side couldn't be any easier. But the passenger side.....Maybe I should take a picture of my hand, many red marks and cuts, just from sticking my hand in there. And no, I do not have fat hands.

I couldn't agree with you more Joe. Gotta pay homage to the 1IS.

Check post #12 on this thread. I think someone already linked it to my.IS. No need to be afraid. Not that bad to do at all. Half hour tops. Just make sure to wear some gloves.
Have yet to take the time to figure it out how to get the fogs to light without the headlights. I'd love to have this mod though. I did it on my GS and I also did it on the Prelude I had before I got my GS.

LOL, Could you post a pic of the fogs instead?
Did you notice I was wearing gloves?
