Default Aerotect Foglight overlay optic blue

Was gonna order some Foglight overlays from aerotect. I wanted optic blue. Anyone have experience with the optic blue ones . Trying to get them to match some 6k headlights. Don't have to be exact just close . The overlay looks clear with a slight blue tint.

The original owner had these blue overlays already installed when I bought my Lexus. Not sure if they are the exact brand/color you are referring to or not. I think the stog fog bulbs are still there because even though the overlays are blue when I drive at night and see the reflection of my headlights versus the fogs, the fogs still look pretty amber. I'm sure with an bulb upgrade they would look great tho..

I also bought some for my car but never got them on my fogs/headlights.
Too bad you are not in Los Angeles, I would give them to you for free. Yes! No charge. Zero$$.
Please don't ask to mail them. I bought them long ago and threw away the cylinder they came in.
Don't want to deal with shipping/mailing. sorry

That looks pretty much like what I was wanting. Thank for the pic and if you get a night pic please post it up. Seems like I will need a bulb upgrade also. I got some halogen bulbs in my garage that are 6k I might try those when I pop the bumper off

Yeah I am looking for good 6000k bulbs.

And black out the headlights and fogs? I seen cars like that around here in Houston but I prefer them just to be clear or a slight blue. Black out looks cool but you lose output. And isx50 lights aren't the greatest to start with

I have 6k fogs and lows. If you do blackout all you are blacking is the chrome that has nothing to do with light output is just for looks pretty much,I will be leaving intact the little chrome around the bulb so output wont be afected. G luck budy.
