Default Hid fogs on 1993 es300???

looking to install HID fogs on my 93 es300, anyone know what kind of bulb they are? and any suggestions on which brand i should get? also i have the small yellow fogs, it looks like the lens of the fog light is yellow itself does anyone know if this is the case for sure? its a projector foglight.

Our bulbs are H3. I recently swapped my 96 reflectors for your guys projector fogs. Definitely worth the upgrade

I put 3000k since I had them previously. Works pretty well IMO. The projectors are indeed yellow so a 4300k or 3000k works just fine :thumbsup:

I assume we had H3 for the 96 as well? I was thinking of upgrading mine even if I didnt switch to the projectors they seem low enough to not bother people... but idk.

btw did you swirl out a house#? houses sure are nice in that aera lol.

^^Confirmed. It wasn't yellow enough for my liking so I got the projector version of our fogs

I didn't swirl out house numbers. Didn't think that it was necessary haha but thanks!

You wouldn't have any night pictures either set of your HIDs would you?

I was wondering about the house # swirling because of the swirl on your passenger side lol

Oh snap, didn't notice that. Swirls in Photobucket gone crazy :rofl:

Here you go. I'll link the top one again for fast reference. Two different pics but I guess you can take the general shape of it. I still have my old ones but I have to make a custom cover in the back since I drilled a hole into it to fit the HID wires

6K lows, 3K fogs
Reflectors (taken when HID were new so they were green during this pic. Turned light yellow after a while though)

So much for your swirl free finish!
(Sorry, couldn't help it )

I think I like the projectors better, Just seems to be a real yellow.

Bastard!

Its super yellow due to the projector glass being yellow as well. That was one of the sole reasons why I went to projector fogs

If you want to get the reflector fogs, just stick with Halogen bulbs and get the yellow caps. That will help deepen the yellow effect

Ahh that's a good idea as well, I was thinking of coloring the plastic yellow via some sort of stained glass coloring or temperature paint.
