Default Need your Ideas for the fog lights

Okay guys, now that I have my 7000K HID lights, I want to change the color of my fog lights. What do you guys suggest? Should I do the Yellow fogs like the stock GS430's, Piaa's Extreme White, Leave the fog lights turned off, or do a matching HID for the fogs. Give me your opinions/idea's... Thanks

I would say yellow because that way you dont have to worry about color matching. Im sure Lextacy400 will say the same thing...its like a GS signature. Im thinking about getting the yellow. Im wondering if you can get yellow blubs or do you have to get new yellow fogs?...anyone know?

I would say all depends on what you want, because if you want the HID type of light but you also want yellow color, you could use Yellow HID's, they sell them for those motorcycles used on outdoor trailing whatever <like motocross bikes but not for jumping so high, can't explain it> Ill try to find a link for it and post it later on tonite

PIAA makes a ION Yellow bulb for about $99.00. I wonder if that will look as good as the stock yellow ones.

damn $100!!! go to nopi and sped $5 on a pair of yellow 9006 bulbs from apc. I don't think it's worth the $94 more for piaa after all it isn't HID

Your right, but I am curious how the yellow looks for the PIAA. They do make some bright lights.

I just ordered the Yellow PIAA's last night. I will take pics when they arrive. I had PIAA PLASMA BULBS for my headlights and fogs before the HID for 9 months with no problems. I'm sticking with PIAA because they last.

if you could find i would say to just get the yellow fogs i had the clear and put the max gold bulbs and they looked perfect for about a week or two and them it would get duller and duller because the yellow on the bulb would burn off.... i dont know about the piaa i just think to pay that much for bulbs is crazy i have seen them burn out the same day u put them in....

look in the classifieds they always want to trade yellow for clear...


hope this helps

Good choice on the Yellow's. Some people like the white on white. hid on yellow fogs is a lexus trade mark. Gorgeous imo

Agreed. I think the Yellows look good against the darker color cars like the Blue and the Black, but if I had any other color, I might have gone full whitey.

BUT, when down in ATL about a month ago, mumbles' clear fogs with his HIDs and Black GS looked hella tight.
