Default Foglights...

Does anyone know of a good website where I can order some foglights for my IS250. I've come across one called Luminicsbulbs.com. Any others? Also, what color lights would look good on a Tungsten Pearl IS250. Yellow? Blue? White?

I personally would go for yellow (a la 1st gen IS). Please don't do blue. White would be okay, as long as it's similar in color to the headlamps (if you have HIDs). Please, no blue. No blue. No blue.

You can get them from your local auto store.. Just get 9006 bulbs and you're good to go. As for the colour, I would go for white or yellow.. blue will not match this car. Either way it's your car, it's up to you.

That's what I'm using in my low beams :P
They are pretty good for $37 bucks CAD.

The output is brighter than the oem bulbs. Light distance I would say is the same as the stock sylvanias. Now I'm just waiting for HIDS. I will probably go with 3000k hid fogs as well.

I have a set in my highs - 9005 and they light up pretty good. Last week there was very dense fog in the early morning and I used them without problems. It does not light up as much as I wish they could, but they do stand out. I also just received a pair for my fogs that I will have installed this weekend.

Anyone know what size and wattage our fog lights are on the IS350? I too would like to replace them with yellow bulbs.

**edit** nevermind. I found it. The fog lights are 9006. I ordered the Nokya 9006 55w yellow bulbs today. Looking forward to seeing how they look once installed.

I second the SPP Lights. The Audi crowd is big on them too (I am coming from an Audi S4). When I get my 350 I am def getting SPP bulbs. They make great quality products
