Thanks

the housings you're talking about arent yellow. they're still clear. there's a yellow glass tube inside the housing that surrounds the bulb, which makes it shine yellow when its on. the yellow fogs look pretty sick paired up with hid headlights, do it up.

i tested it out hid vs hallogen, my PIAA hallogen puts out the same brightness/ as my hids when they're in my fogs. i drove around with 1 hid and one hallogen for about 3 days i couldent even tell the diffrence.

What front lip are you using and are those hid's in the inner lights?

Fell free to post other pics of your ride. I'm surpruised there is no "POST PICS OF YOUR SBM GS' " anywhere on here...at least i couldn't find one.

Front lip is a carbon fiber AbFlug lip/diffuser. Inner lights are 9 LEDs.

You can see more pics in my gallery... and if you search for "blue" or "power of blue" you will see the MOTHER of all blue GS pics

You know I can't really tell the difference in daytime pix between the yellow housings with halogen and the clear housings with halogen.

the housing are the same just the yellow capsule inside cracked so I got left with clear housing in the bottom pic. Also all of the pics with yellow housing are oem 9006 bulbs whereas the bottom clear on is hids.
