If u ever see 3000k warm up they are green on startup and turn yellow. Also they have been buffed since then. They were sanded while off just not completely buffed.

Are those only 3000K bulbs in the clear fog lights or do you have the GS430 fogs in there with the 3000k bulbs ? I love that greenish tint at warm up...

A fog light and headlight are two diff animals. In the fogs for one they are aimed away from on comers eyes and are purely for aesthetics. Now in the a halogen headlight housing it would cause way too much glare.
