Default Help!-Yellow tubes in fog lights??

Does anyone know how to remove the yellow tubes in the factory 2001 GS 430 foglights. I removed the fog housing and tried removing the three screws on the outside, but I cannot remove the internal housing. Is this possible?? I want to add some aftermarket Xenon bulbs and make them a driving style light to match the HIDs....Help!

I've contemplated this mod for quite sometime, but I'm paranoid I'm going to f*** up the rest of the housing (don't know my own strength!) or not be able to get all the yellow out! :eek: Give me all the details as to how "smooth & simple" (if it was) the process took!

Im a rookie and it took me 15 minutes start to finish. I used a phillips to unscrew them and a flat head to break the inner glass and then just shook it all out and installed the new bulbs..

Piece of cake. Great post to learn from.

The yellow means you have a GS4?--why go clear.... take off your GS4 emblems while you are at it.

The yellow doesnt mean I have a GS4, the badge on the back that say GS 430 does. And I think I will leave that on.

It was just personal preference to have them used as white driving lights because I knew I would never use the yellow.

There isnt any fog in AZ, and all of my friends think the white is 100 times better.

To each his/her own.

yellow fog lights on a GS doesnt mean it's a G4.
G3 with Nakamichi or Navigation package also comes with YELLOW fog lights.
