Shawn,
You need to buy the lens' that are clear. Though the yellow ones you have look clear, if you look in the opening where the bulb goes in, you will see that there is a yellow lens in front of the bulb. Try looking in the classifieds for someone selling a set of clear ones. You might even find someone that is willing to trade clear for your yellow.
Good Luck,
-Will

No promlem Shawn. Welcome to CL.
Post some pics when you get your clear ones on. Any plans on installing an HID conversion in the fogs?

I vote for white, especially for Tungsten Pearl (4300k stock HID, Polarg Hyper White parking lights and 4300k fogs from mobilehid):

I have a gs300 with clear fog housings. I want to change to yellow but keep the clear hosuings. Can anyone recommend nice bulbs (brand/capacity) that will give me a nice bright yellow and resemble the cars running around with yellow housings?

Thanks guys!

olmysti - if you want to go the HID route, pick up a 9006 3k kit here:

To get an idea of the yellow output, check out carchitect's page:

HID or Halogen?

I think just because of the color difference, white will appear to have the best and brightest light output. But both are actually used for different applications.
Just for normal driving at night, I say go with the clear with HID conversion. 6000k of course.


Quick Reply: Yellow or 6000k HID Fogs.
