Huh? All 2GS models that came from the factory with HID headlights had yellow foglights. You could just swap your clear foglights with someone who has yellow (and wants clear). I swapped my yellow ones out a while back, and put in clear so i could convert to HID.

You could leave the yellow ones on and put the HID, I did and it looks pretty hot. But I'm sure you meant you swapped for the clear ones to match the lows and fogs.

yea I would say if you want fogs just sell your clears and get the yellow ones, they both have advantages, there are plenty of people that do not like the yellow that will buy them, better yet even as mentioned above swap them with someone, you might get lucky

im with the HID option, if you want yellow buy a 3000k HID kit, not only will you have the yellow, but you will have an easy 2-3 times the output,

because the capsules if you are lucky enough to find them will be like 20-30 bucks, they are very popular, just put that toward an HID kit, plus all the work of baking your fogs, opening them, then re-sealing them (another 5 bucks for sealant) its not hard just kind of time consuming.

+1 on the 3000K HID kit in the clear fogs. Go for that clean, trademark Lexus lighting setup
