Default LED 9006 Bulbs

Would that work in 2006 IS250 fog light? I am scared of fuse blowing or brightness problems.

yes it will work, of course you'll only use those to roll in at a car show~ those are NOT FOR DRIVING as they produce no usable light.

But Arnt the fogs correlated with your low beams. So once you turn on lights those fogs will turn on as well. Is there a way to jus have fogs on only?

i wouldnt do it, i had led drl's in my acura tsx and they look good but the light output is weak, you may even get a error light on your dash bcuz the output is so low, just go with hid fogs, you can get a good set for under $75 bux.

yes they will turn on BUT~ LED fogs are for 'show' only.

Here's the DIY for the fog lights: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ification.html

And don't do LED fog lights. It's better to just get an HID Kit from DDMTuning or HIDeXtra for about $40. Choose the 6000k color so it's the same as having LEDs but you'll get like 3 times more light than with LEDs.

Choose the 9006 type for fog lights. If you want to match any LEDs you may have then choose 6000k. And I don't think any harnesses or wiring is needed other than what comes with the kit.

You can just get a yellow halogen bulb for about $14/pair. But if you want the fog lights to run without your low beams on, you'll have to do the DIY.
