Default GS400 Yellow Output....

I just got a 3000K HID kit from Xenon Depot and the output is not too yellow unfortunately. I want the output to appear like GATO's GS....


He has a 3000K kit too, but the yellow is much more intense. How can I get my foggies to look like this?

I have a '98 LS400...

Maybe you can try yellow overlays.

I had the yellow overlays for the fogs when I was running PIAAs 3000Ks, but it doesn't look clean because the LS400 fog assembly has this reflector piece on the side of each foglight, so that piece needs to be tinted as well or it looks funny.

Is there anyway to retro fit the yellow reflector from the GS or even IS onto the LS? Or am I just being crazy and will have tons of water leaks?

I am really regretting getting this 3000K HID kit now
