Default Yellow Fog Lights

I have the Pilot Hyper Yellow from PepBoys right now, and they are more orange than yellow too me. I like the color when they first turn on, its a light yellow. Are there any halogen bulbs out there that are a lighter yellow, like actually a true yellow not an orange?

Yeah, either 3000k HIDs or others had success with the PIAA bulbs.

Here's your hi-liter yellow. 3000K HID on the left side. PIAAs on the right side.

^Good comparison. I actually have 3k HIDs with a yellow overlay. I have a "highlighter yellow" look to mine as well. I actually love the look, so I'm sticking with it.

I like that look! Where did you get your HID kit and how much was it?

Usually conventional non-hid yellow fogs are 2500k. Once you get into hid's they're 3000k. Forgot which brand I had back in the day but they were a really nice yellow...

I've actually started to drive with my fog lights on recently on my is350 and now I want the yellow ones. Are they hard to switch out?
