If the fogs can be opened...i suggest the Lexus Yellow capsul mod....nothing beats those things, no matter what bulb you use.

sweet, can't wait to see the results. I'd love yellow fogs and bright "white" head light beams, but I'm just not feeling the yellow fog light lenses on the black car.

^^ jake, then nokya yellows or lexus fog capsules are what you want.

if you don't want to bake your foglights, then the nokya yellows are the route to take.

i'm the same way, i like the yellow fog look, but think that the yellow fog lens is kinda ugly.

Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate that. I'll look into the Nokya Yellow bulbs soon.

I hope your gonna change your lenses to make them clear again, Black.

Yellow bulbs and yellow lenses will not make the output brighter, just a deeper hue of yellow. If clarity is what you're after, then do one or the other or even do the lexus capsule or projector conversion as others have mentioned.

Personally, I have the capsules and they are extremely yellow.

I disagree....depending on what you use them for of course. It its that nice true yellow you're after...then the capsule is the best.
If you just want plain bright and a decent yellow....then 3500K HIDs are good.

I find with the yellow HIDs though, that they tend to look green when you look directly at the car.
