Default Koito Fog light H3C

Hey Gang,

Just to update with you guys about my H3C light bulb upgrade. My order finally arrived yesterday via UPS. I ordered Koito H3C Whitebeam and i installed by replacing the stock fog light bulb. It did not make much difference between stock verses Koito.

The second modification i did was to break the yellow lense. The color of the Whitebeam was very disappointing. It was slightly orange. It is not a white or bright as the lable stated.

It might be that i am comparing to my HID head light. Over all, the fog light is different from the rest of LS 400, but it is not as rewarding as HID.

Perhaps i should get HID for my fog light too.

It would look much nicer. Attach a picture when you're done.

for $400-$500 for a HID kit, do you think it's worth it? I was thinking about doing HID's for my foglights (on my body kit) but then I thought about it...WHY BOTHER? I rarely use foglights (I'm the type that uses foglights when there is fog...go figure!) and besides that, YELLOW is better for fog/haze than bright white...

I decided just to do yellow PIAA bulbs (since my fogs are clear)...

I believe PIAA is coming out with some H3C's...they had a lot of new product at SEMA...
