just want to add my observation

OEM yellow fog lights look "foggy" yellow
Modified or clear fog lenses + PIAA Ion Yellow bulbs look "crystal" yellow.

Personally I prefer the second setup

I went through a couple of pairs of yellow light bulbs but at the end I just bought a set of yellow gs fogs. You need that yellow sleeve to achieve the real yellow look. Thats the ONLY way.

Default yellow fogs

Yo, here is a set of yellow 9006 bulbs I picked up yesterday...I am using the clear fogs. Cheaper than PIAA's and easier to get too. What do you all think?

Cool fogs

It actually looks more yellow in person. I think the flash makes it more white. But hey, you wanna spend $400 or $50????

Default fogs

Well, it's more for the guys that don't have the yellow fogs such as 98-00(I believe)I was referring to. $50 being what I paid, and $400 being what ppl have been quoted by the dealer. Maybe not as much as $400, but certainly not $50 forr the yellow look. I guess it depends on what each wants..

actually go to for sale/trade forum and ask people who has yellow fogs to trade it for you. that's how i got the yellow fogs for my 98 gs

and btw, getting the yellow fogs housing is only 206 a pair from steve.

Any yellow "bulbs" will always give off some degree of whitish color. After going through couple of pairs the best bet is to check the classifieds here or maybe swap with someone. I bought my yellow fogs off a GS430 and it looks awesome. I am using the piaa extreme with the yellow fogs, and believe me the yellow is INTENSE .

I've heard though that the PIAA yellow ion is the best quality you can buy for yellow fogs but still not yellow enough for my liking. I had MAX GOLD yellow fogs, the yellow was really intense for the first few weeks and started fading after that
