Default H3C Foglight Bulb

I want the yellow foglight look, but can't seem to find any yellow bulbs. finding h3c bulbs is already a rarity in itself and finding yellow ones seem impossible.

i bought the car with the clear foglights, but i thought stock they were yellow?

Stock foglights are yellow. The previous owner probably cracked/removed the yellow bulb covers because he/she didn't like them.

You could always do the H3C to H3 conversion, but you still won't be able to get the stock yellow look even if you use yellow H3 bulbs.

Maybe ask the dealer if they sell the yellow bulb covers separately?

You don't even have to take out the foglight, just look directly into the foglight, you should be able see to a yellow hue. Heck, just turn on your fogs..if it's not yellow, you don't have them.

Both of the bulbs in the links you posted will not give you the same deep yellow color of the yellow bulb covers...it'll be a lighter washed-out yellow color.
