Default Yellow vs White fog lights

hey all,

Pretty much what the title says. Any pictures? Any opinions? The picture in my head looks pretty nice, but i'd like to see it for real.

-David

P.S. on an 07 RX350

Search will bring up old posts on this subject. Also look beyond the RX forum ... Club Lexus special interest ... lighting Forum.

Form and function are the two things.

You yourself is best suited to decide about form.

Function> For fogs, you want wider spread and high penetration. So the bulb reflectors try to focus the light low and wide. [if the light is pointed up, it will reflect off the moisture and you get washed view .. without visibility up ahead ... that why the high beams and fogs are mutually exclusive settings].
Wavelength (frequency wise ... penetration power), Amber is better suited than pure white.

I searched and found nothing. Who here can provide pics of yellow fogs on their RX? Any 400h owners? Thanks.

I had the same thought of changing the fog light color to yellow fogs. After considering it for a while I decided white hids would be better.

I ordered yellow Nokya fogs...9006....I've had good experience with them in the past....

If they are not yellow enough I will go and buy some yellow laminate covers so the intensity is more yellow. That said the fogs are might higher off the ground then say the GS so I'll be toying around.

Also ordered LEDs for the rear license plate....

Isn't the original bulb 9006 - and only when you have changed over to HID, the HID bulb becomes H11?

mowmow is right

Accessing the fog in the 400h is a snap (there were a couple threads here about it) but it is indeed a H11, not 9006.

Drats....so will order yellow H11s.....
