do i have to buy yellow 9006 bulbs? or just regular and they look yellow in the shell?
i'm so damn confused, I guess after 5 years and 80k later, somethings gotta give, lol
i see some water and condensation in the fogs, so i'm assuming its the water thats at fault

go to autozone and get the bulbs. They'll last about the same and the cost is probably the same, if not less. Its only of those things where OEM isn't always better. Lexus probably use the same ones at the store anyways (there are only a few bulb manufactors today).

I thought the bulbs can easily be changed by unscrewing the two screws next to each foglight housing and pulling it out.
I almost tried this on my car last week - guess i'll try it again since i'm swapping out the screws to allen wrench screws. (it makes them more difficult to steal since people may just expect normal screws)

Lighting guru (me ) will explain and clear things up for everyone
The foglight housing itself produces the yellow color. The bulb is just any regular ol' standard 9006 halogen.
To change the bulb. Look at your foglights. There will be two philips screws holding the housing in. Unscrew them and the housing will pull out easily. Rotate the bulb and it will come out. Press in the clip holding the bulb in and then pull the bulb out. Replace new bulb and put everything back in reverse order.
Toyota uses either Sylvania or Koito bulbs for all their lighting. So its the same stuff as what the auto parts store carries.
