I have always been a big fan of Lexus with yellow fogs. Very distinctive!

Have you seen it before? It's not "ricer" blue IMO. It's more like an HID blue and just onthe outside. When lit, it's not blue at all. Similar to what lex did on the GS models to the headlamps after 2001.

yes, i've seen it installed at aerotect. You're right when lit it's not blue, but when it's turned off the blue film is very obvious. I don't like that look.

I got the blue because I want to look different. Aerotect did the overlay and suggested I go with yellow.

Sorry fellas...I'm impartial to a woman's opinion...hehe. Cali Girl, I think I will go with yellow overlays and yellow bulbs to match.

Thanks for the input all!!

For a silver one, i would def. go for a yellow overlay. But for some color like breakwater blue, i would go for a blue overlay...just my opinion

I"ll be getting the Xenonmatch.. for the fogs... the all-weather have a light yellow to it..

Xenonmatch on the left.. vs Stock..


and if you guys want the YELLOW JDM look.. you might want to think about the Höen Endurance

Hoen Endurance

Default Missing an entry.

There should be 1 more entry in your poll.
No Color with JDM Yellow bulbs. Looks factory untill you turn them on.


Like these. And no, the blue bulbs in there are not the yellow bulbs. Those are the ones I replaced with the JDM Yellow.


Here is a pic of them in the fog.
