HID Fog lights
Hey CL I'm new to the forum. Learning and reading a lot about the GS. I recently bought a 01GS430 and the foglights come with the yellow capsule inside the foglight housing. I want to have HID foglights since I have used HIDs in all my previous cars.
So knowing I have this yellow capsule I wont be able to go with 4500k fogs to match my lows.
If I get 3k HIDs for the fogs how will the output be? since I have that capsule dark yellow?
OR if I get 4500K HIDs for the fogs will that be a bright yellow since its still shining through the yellow capsule?
I want the best light output!
Thanks for any input. I did research before posting and most people just traded for clear housing ect.

Dont get yellow HID's, projects lots of light output but not enough "yellow hue". Get NOKYA yellow bulbs and itll be a solid yellow and good light output. I have them. If you get 4500K HID, believe it or not, it might come "greenish hue" because of the color contrast. So dont go that route.

i was thinking of doing 3000k fog lights but i think having yellow fogs and hid lights the color combo will be odd on the street. i like bright white to see the most in front of me.
