Nokya bulbs are rated at 70W but the manual book spec is at 55W, is it safe to add 15 more watts to that wiring? Nokya bulbs are very cheap but Im afraid it will F* up my wiring and pay a lot more later. Luminics bulbs seem to be 55W and the PIAA ones at 55W also. Luminics are about the same price (20) and PIAA's about (80)...

Isn't life and different likes/dislikes amazing? - I remember on an IS300 board years ago, guys were changing out from yellow to clear/white and spending tons of time/cash in accomplishing this ....personally I think it's really a functional object - I drive with them on all the time in the IS350 and only used it in fog on my old 300.

Default IS Fogs

I went with the PIAAs. They don't look as yellow in normal conditions, but when it's foggy they do. I like the yellow look better than clear, but I wish they were more like the ones on my GS.

I like the look of just the lows being HID. I think HID fogs are a little too much. I have yellow piaa high beams, yellow piaa DRL's, and yellow piaa fogs. it really brings out the HID's. And looks pretty trick.

I personally prefer yellow fogs, so I went with Alpha kit which is 3500K. Here's a pic. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to take a pic at night.
