Default Finished Retrofit Fog HID

Here are the fogs installed. Cutoff, to me is pretty damn good. Yes i know my low beams cutoff suck but it's okay.

looks good. what did you use for the retrofit? are they clear? I like the how yellow HIDS actually look yellow. Most of the kits I see for our factory fogs look light yellow, not really the dark JDM yellow

Those are actually 92 - 94 ES300 fog lamps. The lens used in those projector assemblies are actually yellow.

I hope SChema answered your question.

Yes it sure was worth it. Thanks a lot. I gave you a special shout out on my other thread but just in case you didn't see it, it said something like this, "thanks to SChema for the idea"

Not too sure if it'll work because it came pretty close to the lens. At least for me it did. And from the looks of it, the 92-96 fogs don't look as big as the 97+.

Is there a DIY on this? I just bought some es300 fogs so I'll be doing this retrofit soon. I'm not planning on blacking out the housings so can this retrofit be done without removing the lens?
