Default New owner - 2015 RX 350, fog lights?

My Audi 2013 A4 Sline is sold and I'm picking up 2015 Lexus RX350 in Starlight Black Mica/black leather with Touring package. Got amazing deal and so pumped.

Went through a few bimmers (3 series and X5) and now Audi A4 which I enjoyed a lot but decided to slow down and enjoy my comfort a bit . Our family also expended just recently and I decide to drive RX.


Quick question, I'm planning to replace factory fog lights to have yellow bulbs. Any recommendations which one to get?


Thanks

Congratulations on the new car and the expansion of your family!

We have two kids, a 9 month old boy and a 4 year old girl, and the RX is a wonderful family vehicle.

Congrats Steel28. You may want to contact CL vendor, XenonDepot. They can make some recommendations for you. A few of us have changed the fog lights, mostly for a whiter look. You can do a search for the threads. It's one of those simple upgrades that makes a nice difference. But beware, you might not want to stop there

I thought the 2015 RX came standard with LED fogs, so all he really needs is the yellow film.

Thanks for the welcome all. Looks like yellow film will be my solution.

Picking my RX next Tuesday and very excited. I just couldn't pass almost $7K saving on this one vs waiting for 2016 new model.

Yeah. Or he could sell his OEM ones and use that money to buy the morimotos. I sold my standard fogs on eBay and bought led ones from Sewell for same price :-D

go with LED's, i treid HID kits twice and twice one of them burned my housing unit, melted the plastic and i had to replace it, each unit is about 80-100$ plus delivery,so that sucks. LED fogs are pricy but they are more reliable, its been almost a year and nothing overheated/melted etc.

I believe the 2015 base model (without the lighting upgrade) uses an H16 bulb (halogen) for the fogs.
