Hey bud.. I did purchase the set of fogs from ebay so it's possible that it was wrapped in yellow vinyl but either way i'm satisfied with the look. It looks betterr in person. A friend of mine that has a lexus gs 300 with yellow fogs but not 3k bulbs came to my house yesterday and notice the new fogs. When i showed him how it looks he now wants the 3k bulb. i'm staying with this set up. Paint job is next

The yellow looks good at night. My problem with these fogs is that I don't like the look when they are off in the daytime

just wondering do you guys actually like the light output you get with yellow fogs? cuz I'm still not 100% satisfied with them. they are OK when its dry out. but It might be that their location is too low, they just aren't that bright in the rain. I mean there is a bright yellow colour but what makes yellow more attractive than standard hid in clear lens. btw my set up is pure white hids in oem yellow capsules.

I don't think I've seen that many led fogs, as they just aren't as bright. Another thing is that I find the yellow fog is very mismatched when you have headlights on. since I have leds in city lights, drl, and corner lights.

Should i tint the lens of the fogs that i have on the car now? Buy ebay yellow bulb here is a link http://www.ebay.com/itm/3000K-Super-...ec69d7&vxp=mtr ? OR buy ebay yellow fog lights here is the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/1998-2004-LE...60891898600%26, http://www.ebay.com/itm/1998-2005-GS...e78ae8&vxp=mtr Thank you for the help!!!
I would go with Tint. Its cheaper, and the effect is the same.

Fog lights are number one lamp that i used to see broken and tint film does a good job protecting it.

Mine are close to six months and are starting to get a tad hazy from rock and dirt...or maybe just dirty. The point is, you can replace it one per year and have them look brand new year round.

There is no restoring glass lamps from chips and dings, tint is a great option

Just installed some xenon depot 3k HID kit in my stock clear fogs with yellow capsules, finally found the nice golden color I was looking for!
