G2GS,
Your ride looks sick. What is your light set up?

Twister,

I just installed the exact same kit for my fogs on the weekend. I noticed that when I look at the fogs head-on, the lights first appear a bit greenish but then when they warm up they're a bit whiteish-yellow if that makes sense. Is this the same with yours?

I'm trying to figure out how to make the light have a more intense yellow look when looking at the fog light head-on. (The actual light output is very yellow as evidenced by the yellow beams on the pavement in front of the car.)

Agreed.. Keep it classy.

Yep, the same here! I do see the same greenish and than after warm up its whiteish-yellow. I think the only way to make it more intense is to use yellow film on top of fogs. I think 1SICKLEX mentioned about doing it on his 450h instead of light replacement to make it more yellow.

If you are planning to go for it, please post pictures with more details

I recently received some pictures of our Putco "Jet Yellow" Halogen bulbs installed in fogs and I thought they looked great!







These are the actual bulbs:

We have had nothing but great feedback on these bulbs. They also come with a lifetime warranty directly through Putco.
