Default New fog lights on the 450h (the trilogy)

Yep, I changed them again. I went with Philips Diamond Vision this time. The color is great. They look very white compared to the LED headlights but they match nicely. I'll take better pictures this weekend when I get a chance to wash the RX. Obviously it's a little dirty from the little snow storm last Saturday. They were installed just in time.

You've been wanting those for a while now, glad you finally got them. Looking good.

Is that snow turning to rain as it pass's in front of the beam ???

I needed to install the relay harness so the HIDs powered up every time. But the battery is in the cargo area. I decided it was easier to remove the HIDs and go back to halogen.

I agree Anita, the halogen are easier. They come in such a color/ temp range anymore it is easy to match whichever headlights you have. So far my cheap bulbs are still working.

Don't really won't the snow but would like some precipitation here.

Your headlights do look a tinge yellower than the fogs. I know these things are hard to photograph.

Anita, as I recall, weren't they a PITA to change? Did you do this yourself or did you have it done at Lexus or somewhere else?

I went with one of the CL vendors here, Nigel. They were not cheap ($50) and took a while to come in from Japan but I'm happy.

Yes, the bulbs are a pain to change in the hybrid. I had my installer do it this time since it wasn't a straight swap out. The HIDs had to be removed first. It was cold and snowing too. Still it was maybe 30 minutes from start to finish.
