Illtech,

I would go with the 3000K, 9006 HID bulbs. Reasons as follows:

True that for a millisecond the HID's draw more current but will not burn out your harness. Your fuse will blow long before your harness burns up anyway. After initial start-up, the HID's actually require less current and operate at 35w (less heat) rather than the halogens which require 55w (hotter running). Even so, the light output is 3X great than the standard halogens. Not only are they more efficient energy wise they should last you the life of your car. As far as yellow goes, Whlkev's photo says it all. You can get a plug-and-play HID kit (like the one I got) cheap on e-bay. PM me if you want details.

 

So is the 3000K HID kit closer to 2GS yellow compared to 2500K Nokya bulbs???

What I've noticed it is that since the low beams must be on in order for the fog to be turned on, it doesn't really add any visibility to me as a driver no matter how the weather is. It does serve the purpose of letting others see me though. But since I drive quite a lot on roads without lights, it would be a nice thing to add visibility at night time. Anybody???

 

Many of us came from a 2GS and 1IS with the oem yellow fogs. I miss mine for sure!

 

At night you can definitely see them and yellow is the best color for foggy conditions. That's why I went with the yellow HID's for visibility and safety.

 

I'll be installing my kit soon enough. I have it sitting around, but I'm lazy and my car isn't a month old yet.

 

Bump as my aerotect layers came in today. In seeing Kaygee's GS, like many have said (and KayGee has said and he had a 2GS as well to compare) the best bet if you don't use HIDs is the yellow overlay with yellow bulbs.

 

or use two layers of yellow overlay

 

Post some pics! I'm interested in what the overlays look like with a yellow bulb inside

 

Not the best quality pictures but here is the overlay and PIAA Ion Crystal (yellow) bulbs. I also have yellow wedge bulbs with my DRLs disabled:

 

looks good man, i like it alot.

 

yellow vinyl..

 

Okay I will update pics in here or another thread. One layer of Aerotect isn't worth a thing. So if you are going to keep stock bulbs you BETTER get two layers. I wish my butt read this thread before ordering.

Not sure will I order another set of go with bulbs.

With lights off you can tell the film is yellow which I don't mind. When they are on, you can barely tell its yellow. I took pics next to the 2GS to compare.

Sigh....... lol

Modding......it leads you to drinking a cold one

 

see you should have talked to me before you bought them mike! i would have told you to go 2 layers
