well, depends on if the fog's OEM yellow also... if it is, then be careful their color as yellow fogs you can only put in yellow HID as if you use like 6000k, it'll come out green....

Also cheap HID kits may have yellow color coming out of the sides, but uneven color like blue may leak out from front and back, still making the color in the end to be greenish

I'd say go with Cliff from Mobile HID. Turn around was EXCELLENT and you really can't beat the price!

you guys mean there's not just a yellow bulb in our fog light housing, when i looked inside i coulda sworn it was just a yellow 9006 bulb, what needs to be removed for 6000k not to come out yellow?

it's best to trade a yellow tubed fog for a clear fog, many people want yellow fogs...

do that because I think the only ways are to break the yellow tube glass or open the light up from the glass...

Hi,

Your vehicle uses a 9006 bulb for the fog lights meaning that you would need to order a 9006 HID conversion kit.

Check my sig for our current promotions.

Don't go above 6000k for the headlights, it will limit the distance you can see at night, plus it will blind other drivers.
