Yes, the first pic is philips led 6k, the second pic is philips led 2700k, and the third pic is PIAA plasma ion yellow 2500K.

Foglights are h16. If I remember correctly h16 is 35 watt and H11 is 55 watt.

I have a 14 GS350 non f sport and it was h16 35 watt. I think the bases are similar but the wattage is the difference.

(I'm not a physicist) I used to think that yellow would be a better color for fog lights too - but after browsing the web for this, I found enough evidence to the contrary - the color of the light will make no difference to how far the yellow light will extend the visibility (compared to white light). The critical factors (for driving in fog) would be the position of the light (no higher than 18-20 inches above ground), and the angle at which the light is spread on the horizontal axis (should be wide beam spread on horizontal axis, and very narrow on vertical axis)

Quote: These pics are really helpful thanks to everyone who's posting feedback. Looks like the PIAA are deeper yellow and HID is a brighter output
HID will produce more overall lumen output than an LED setup, but it's not worth the added hassle and heat-related risks in the fog light location.

There are plenty of high quality LED replacements on the market, which provide a nice increase in usable output and are plug and play.

I can't comment on yellow but I had both PIAA (on different vehicle) and VLED before. PIAA didn't last very long for me. I had VLED on the GS and they look really nice and didn't give me any problem. In case you (or someone else) wonder how the white looks, here it is..

How's the light output? When you have a few moments to spare, could you please take a picture (when it is dark) with just the headlights and then, with headlights and fog lights?
