The yellow is due to the lenses in the foglights.

If you want them cleared then you would have to open the fogs up and remove the yellow film.
I had this done to mine.

Here are a few pics:


Fogs enabled mode



Fogs and HID headlights on



Cleared foglight





If you are interested in having this done, then contact IS300GTR. He can do them for you for a good price or he can guide you thru all the steps.

Here is a link to his tutorial:

This tutorial includes painting the fog housing black.

I hope this helps.

What bulbs do you have in your DRLs to make them look blue? Did you do the Full Power DRL mod too? Thanks in advance.

Hi Wxman,

Love your ride!

Actually the DRL's are disabled and the blue is only the reflection from the blue tint from the hyperwhite bulb.

The full power mode was still kind of yellow compared to the cleared fogs, so I kept mine disconnected.
