DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE STOCK FOG LIGHTS ARE GOLD BECAUSE OF THE LENSES OR THE BULBS? I LIKE THE GOLD LOOK BUT THINK IT MAY BE OVERKILL ON A YELLOW CAR. THOUGHT ABOUT MAYBE GOING WITH SOME BLUE OR SUPER WHITE FOGS, BUT DONT HAVE THE TIME TO SEE WHAT MAKES THEM GOLD. (LAZINESS) ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I WAS ALSO WONDERING IF ANY ONE HAD PURCHASED THE JDM CONVERSIONS CLEAR TAIL LAMPS FOR THE IS YET? IF SO, HOW IS INSTALLATION AND HOW DO THEY LOOK? JUST WONDERING.

 

It is the lens that are yellow.

 

yes White IS is right it is the lenses... you can take them out I think I am lookin to do this this weekend

 

THANKS I WAS AFRAID OF THAT OH WELL. LET ME KNOW HOW THE REMOVAL GOES. NO INFO ON THE CLEAR TAILS YET?

 

I think someone on IS300.net tried it and broke the lights.

 

I will be attempting removal of the lens on Ticalis300's fog lights some time in the near future..

Fairuza11, Be careful.

Ticalis broke one of his fogs already cause he got too agressive when breaking the lens.

I will try the oven baking technique.

There is a very very thick glass lens. It is convex on the front side, flat on the backside. There are a few obvious ways to remove the lens.

Remove the front cover and unscrew it.
Go in through the back and break the lens, get the pieces out.


Will let you know how it goes.

 

thanks for the tip Sophie..

 

I removed the yellow from my foglights yesterday.
you need a heating gun and a flathead screwdriver.
Take off the foglight and melt the glue. After it starts to get soft start prying the clips up and pull off the lens
The rest is cake

 

yo sophie.. work your magic bro.. PUHLEASE!!.. do you think i should start looking for another stock fog assembly? do u think its damaged beyond repair.. i wish i wasn't so dayam impatient! thanks for helping... i have faith in u!!

 

i did it to my GS3, probobly the same with your IS, check it out

My Website, How To Make Fogs Clear

hope this helps

 

Yeah, it's not the same as the GS3.
In fact it's very different. Its much harder in the IS. There is simply no possible way of breaking the glass and getting the chunks out. That glass is seriously thick. Ticalis and I even tried drilling through it with a glass drilll bit and it didn't work.

 

WOW, alright never mind then. sorry i couldn't help

 

Anyone know a good aftermarket bulb for the fogs to match the HID lamps? I have already replaced the running lights and want complete the look. Thanks.

 

Also, I already got rid of the yellow lenses some time ago, but the stock lights still look yellowish compared to the HID's and the replacment running light bulbs. Anyone replace the high beam bulbs as well, and what part ?

 

i have used razo bulbs for the fogs and they emit a very nice hyper white color... w/ a slight bluish tint. you might also want to try cuzo.. as for the highbeams, i have some piaas in my IS... they are much brighter w/ a very slight tint of blue.....

u have to becareful with aftermarket bulbs.. some will break inside the casing, some will fade in color, and some will burnout somewhat quickly.. PIAA makes great bulbs and will usually last longer than necessary but doesn't always give the appearance people tend to look for (HID look)...

hope this helps...
