To me, yellow foglights are best in Halogen.

Sometimes those HID 3000K Yellow Fogs look very greenish for at least the first several minutes of start-up. Save your money and go halogen.

Go here for the DIY: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=223728

Some updated advise, whats not mentioned in this thread.

You WILL get hand cramps, just deal with it and dont rush to get it over with, most important is GO SLOW and take your time. One member here broke a bulb IN the fog housing... i cant say it enough, go slow.

Drivers side: Everything i mean EVERYTHING will be done by touch, you wont be able to see, the wires are not long enough. Wear cheep laytex gloves for the install cuz you WILL be touching the bulb. Work on your back, over your head to snap the bulb into the harness. Also make sure the bulb is locked into the reflector housing, you will be doing it with finger strength only, as i said, the cramps will come so just man up, its way better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

Passenger side: My clips were different from the DIY clips so watch out. No cramps on this side thou.
