Same thing happened with my SC, as well as a VW Corrado I installed HIDs in. Glad you figured it out, how you liking the DDM kit? I've been going with them for a couple years now, and they've been great.

You could just upgrade your foglights to HIDs as well if you're concerned about it, but if you think about it, most new cars run HID headlamps with halogen fogs still.

mercedes-benz uses a 9006 bulb for their fogs.

I just got yellow 1157(or was it 6) bulbs for my 92 sc300. I think the yellow looks sick. It makes the car really stand out.

I saw a 95-96 sc with the reg fog lights. I thought it looked to plain.

I see i guess i'll go with the yellow.. mostly the reason why i dont really like it is cause most honda boys think if they have yellow fogs its JDM! tyte y0!!! Maybe i'll look at some more pictures and hopefully it'll change my mind.
