So with the help of ****-adkt & LiCelsior I was finally able to clear my yellow fogs. As i got my car covered in Flat Black Vinyl, the yellows were not matching despite the fact that i love it. So had to clear them for 6000K Hid's.

I preheated my oven at 250* for 10 minutes. Placed one of the fogs on a baking tray and put them inside the oven.

Put a timer on my phone and removed them after exactly 10 minutes. I don't know why i was so precise

But okay it worked.. I used a glove since the light is burninggg hot . And used a flat head screw driver. I slid the screwdriver in corners on the top and then pushed it out in the middle. Tadaa

The yellow glass tube that makes the whole fog yellow was held by two Philips screws.

open them up and the yellow tube slides out easily.

if u had searched there is ALREADY a DIY on here for this.....good work though

not to mention instead of opening them, you could have just broken the capsule out like myself and a few others have done

Yup, I cleared mine with a screwdriver, worked great and minimal effort for those who are just looking to remove the yellow capsule.

If you're looking to do other mods it's good to know they can be opened with heat.
