Default Fog Light upgrade?
For those of you who have the non-F sport 250/350 with fog lights. What up grade did you do for your bulbs?

Here are my choices:

Option 1: Change bulbs to LED bulbs

Option 2: Get HID kit

Option 3: Change fog light house to this:

Thoughts and info would be greatly appreciated.

thx

I went with your Option 1, changed the bubs to LED. Easy to do and happy with the results, much brighter and noticeable output illumination especially with street signs and highway overhead signs.

Option 3a - install these bad boys https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...og-lights.html the Morimoto's you get a good warranty and CS. ESUSE's are very similar though.

where did you get the led bulbs from........ got to get me a pair, the fog lights that come with the vehicle are lame.....they've should have installed quality fog lights..

Dont get morimotos their XBs dont fit the 3IS well. Plus the brightness is not that great.


I find the H16 (lower powered) halogens shine wider.

Maybe you can try the Philips Ultinon Fogs.

We would recommend LED foglights for the 2014+ Lexus IS (non F Sport models). For a subtle upgrade, a simple LED bulb upgrade would suffice. However, if you looking for a significant improvement over the factory bulbs, we offer LED kits for foglights that are plug and play and are fully compatible with OEM Lexus foglight housing.

Feel welcome to send us a private message or email if you need any additional information or assistance!

Could you show how you installed the HID for the headlights and fog lights?

I bought the OEM LED fog light from the dealer, since they are actually cheap.

I installed it my self, so I only paid 180$.



Before installation.



One completed.



After installation.

Just installed some LED bulb replacements for the fogs. Looks great, bright, and only cost <$30.

Got these LED's: http://www.ebay.com/itm/161477090649?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
