You have yellow glass caps my friend. No matter what kelvin bulb you buy, you are going to get a ton of yellow in your output.

You have to swap in some GS400 fogs that aren't yellow, then you will have your true 6K color.

Good luck and be safe!

BTW, Welcome to the boards VIS250P! I haven't seen any of your posts before, yet you have 255! Where have I been?

Don't break the yellow glass. You can trade another member for clear fogs in the classifieds because many people like the yellow ones.

Im surprised when he pulled out his stock H3 bulbs, that he didn't look at them and see that they were not painted yellow.

Which would then lead him to wonder where else is the yellow light coming from, if not the bulb, then the fog light itself.

Trade someone for their yellows. Usually the yellows are more desirable, so people are willing to trade plus a bit of cash

I didn't do it myself so I wouldn't know that's why I was asking when I lit up the bulb I had just hooked up the harness to the battery to see if it worked

There are two screws holding each fog lights. They are each located nearest to the center of the bumper on the fog light housing. You cant miss it. Just unscrew it and pull it out. Be sure to unclip your HID bulbs and store them in the plastic protective tube it came in. DO NOT touch the bulb.
