Judging from post# 1 & 6, I do not think he has HID Fogs... just replaced the oem fog bulb to a "Xenon Style" bulb..

For the parking lights I went with the Polarg M-4's...

Glad the bulb swap is easy... on the ISx50 we have to pull the liner on the passenger side wheel-well to access the bulb.. our drivers side is super easy with a small access panel / door.

Fogs are 9600

The ISF Fog lights are not 9006, they are H11 bulbs. I took it apart and even the manual says it. Don't think they are the same as the IS series.

Install is easy, two screws on either side under the Fog Light. Pull the flaps down. Reach it and remove plug. Twist off old bulb. Reverse process.

Sorry about crappy pics on cell phone. Did not have my camera.


Raj, I like your new user name, it is a good fit ISFAST

You are correct, the IS-F uses H-11, while the reg. IS uses 9006..

The manual could be wrong, FYI. It's wrong on the ISx50 manuals.

The bulbs in my fogs were 9006 and I replaced them with 9006 and the manual says 9006, so I am confused.
