I've been doing DIY tutorials for CL all day and thought I'd snap some pics of the foglights since some of you were asking before. Once again these are the Narva 85w H3 fog bulbs. In person they are as yellow as any GS400/430 foglights you see and just as bright.

 

Sorry for the ghetto night shots (aka garage door shut ) Weird how the color changes...

 

Last one, you get the idea...

 

lex, i notice u took the pieces out of the center. How long has ur bumper been like this and have you noticed any warping, etc. due to the lack of the bars, or are they there just for appearance and not for structural integrity of the bottom piece of the bumper?

Looks good Rich!! I wish I had fog lights so I can pop in some yellow bulbs...I wonder how some 1156 bulbs would look in the cornering lamps...

 

The 95-96 models came stock with the deleted extension in the front air dam. Structural integrity is great!

 

Looks GOOD there!
How much is the Narva and does the 85W damage the harness in anyway?

 

$16 each and no damage noticed thus far.

 

Lex, thanks for the pics and update! You seem to be concerned with the possible damage. Is the 85w that hotter that the OEM 55w?

 

A few years ago I had 85watt h3's in my 2nd gen integra. Lets just say it melted the plastic. Does Lexus foglights use high quality plastic? If so, where do I order a set?

 

looks good. maybe i'll get a pair too. i wish the wattage wasn't so high though

 

Howie, me too. I tried looking for some decent yellow 55w H3s, but to no avail. If you want these 85w bulbs to run at 55w, all you need is a 4.53-ohm resistor (or even 4-ohm) wired inline with the H3 circuit (positive or negative end won't matter). I looked at the Rat Shack, the Circuit City service center, and the Best Buy service center, and I couldn't find a simple resistor! Rat Shack didn't carry them and BBSC and CCSC told me they don't sell parts to the public . You could probably find some online though...

 

Are the Narva lights $16 for a PAIR or SINGLE? They seem want to charge $8 shippin for a bulb... hmm

 

 

Hey lex400sc, those yellow fogs look great!
