Default Fog Light Modifications

I'm looking into upgrading my IS350's fog lamps and would like some recommendations.

I was looking for something bright and on the yellow or blue side of color.

What do you guys think? Any links to places I can but would be great!

are you talking about like converting them to HIDs? The light output is going to be so much better than the stock 9006 bulbs. The yellow color would be like 3000k and blue color would be like 8000k if ur lookin at HIDs

no need for HID's in the fogs,

here what i did in steps to get yellow fogs

1) took out old bulb
2)went to local auto shop and asked them to order me the same bulb but in a yellow color (Nokya 9006)
3) paid $37 including shipping
4)installed myself
5)watched people drool over the awesomeness of a simple, yet gratifying mod

Best mod: HID conversion.

Cheapest mod: yellow or blue overlays.
