Default Wanna do Yellow Fog Lights!

Hey fellas,

I want the yellow JDM look on my GS430. I'm thinking of changing my HID white fog lights to yellow but confused on what to do. I want my yellow fogs to be nice & bright day or night when there on. 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!!!

Choose option 3 which is getting the OEM yellow fogs with the yellow capsule inside and not the one with the yellow film over the glass. Since you say that you have HID white bulbs (probably 4300K), you may want to consider switching to HID 3000K bulbs to produce the yellow JDM look you want.

I thought all gs430's come with factory yellow capsule fogs since they have hid. but anyways, since you have hid ballast for the fogs, the easiest way is to get 3000k bulbs and you will have all the yellow you want.

I got 3000k in mine with the clear housing, they are BRIGHT, I've tried all those heat gun films, yellow and smoke, I prefer them clear with nothing on em, any film isn't as bright as clear housings, I just ordered 8k I'm sick of my yellow...

Why not keep your stock clear fogs with the yellow capsules and add a 3k Hid kit ? I'm in the same boat as you. I'm also looking for that nice deep/bright yellow color. Only problem is finding a perfect HID kit. I bought a kit from a vendor on here but I was disappointed on color quality. But you get what you pay for! 49.99

Go OEM or HID's! I've tried similar yellow bulbs like that, and the yellow fades out really fast. If you want a deep yellow, do 3000K HIDs and yellow tint! That's what I did.
