I have a 98 GS and would like to trade my clear Fog lights for the yellow ones.

My Fogs are in Perfect working and physical condition.

Please let me know.

**Note: My Fogs came clear they were not broken to be made clear**

Why do some people have white and want yellow, and some have yellow and want white!? What difference does it make?

I know some people want that 'all white' light look, so I guess I (sorta) understand someone smashing the yellow reflectors out of the newer ones, but Joe why do you want yellow ones?

Default Ah, the look..

Yellow fogs look great with the HID headlights.

Personally, I'd prefer a blue-ish tint on the fogs, similar to the HID look. Maybe even more so blue.

I wanted the whole White look.
I have been through all the interations.
Factory yellow, super white, plasma blue (look blue-green), Purple (it turned out to be green on one side, maroon on the other. only one day), and now Plasma white...a hint of blue looks nice.
all except the originals were 80watt.

Now I am thinking about going back to Yellow...maybe super bright yellow ion...anyone know where I can get some in 80 watt 9006? thanks.

SuperJoe, why don't you get some yellow fog lamps? Preferably MAX GOLD yellow bulbs. ( I feel like I am the spokes person for MAX GOLD because I mentioned it on here like 1000 times ) They should pay me or something.

GS400TRD, I wouldn't recommend 80 watt bulb. I am using 55watt 12v bulbs and its bright as hell. The manual i believe said it is not wise to use a higher wattage than 55 watts.

I did and one of them burned out...I don't want the hassle of having to buy $30 bulbs and wait for shipping.

I'd rather go to just a store and buy $10 regular bulbs and replace them to get my yellows back.

For the fog light, the bulb size is 9006 aka HB4.

hmm. I have had the 80 watt bulbs in the car for 2 years. None of the wiring seems to have melted. and with 80 watt bulbs, they are bright as hell+25 ! I think Brad (woody) also has them, and he has had them a lot longer than me.

Do you guys get pulled over for having the 80 watt?

I'm thinking of doing 55 watt but still think it might be too bright.

as long as your lights arent pointing in the direction of the on coming driver (pointing up in face), I dont think it matters what the wattage is... I had 100watt heads on my other car and never had an issue.

Oh, that's good. I guess I will upgrade my fog kit from 35 to 55. seems our vendor doesn't have 55 watt ballast.
