hey leksusgs15 - if you don't have HID headlamps, you can always add them on after the fact. as far as hid fogs - don't feel bad, no cars come with hid fogs - it's all aftermarket.

You can put yellow fog lights, whether it's by buying the fog lamps with the yellow lens inside, putting a 3000k-3500k HID kit or putting the yellow film over the fog lamp itself. I think with the yellow lens looks better than with the yellow film but the film would protect the lens from road debris. As far as the HID fog lamps, like Cliff stated no car comes with them from factory, that I know of anyway. Maybe you can open up the fog lights and put the yellow film inside the housing since it's a reflector in there anyway, just a thought.

I like your way of thinking. Sounds like a guy who thinks outside the box.

Thanx. I think since I've been working on this retrofit I've just been thinking a lot about different ways to do things, especially with the lighting.
