hey, i was wondering what you would do to get a bright yellow look from fogs? Any1 have a specifib bulb to use? any pics would help to


thanx

 

I have PIAA crystal ion h3 bulbs. It's yellow alright, but not Lexus style yellow. They are very bright IMO, I can drive with JUST the fogs and see very well.

couple pics:

 

bump.. has any1 painted their fogs yellow ?

 

you need to buy the yellow tint film to put over your foglight housings, that's the only way to get it "lexus yellow". That plus a nice pair of yellow bulbs like the piaa's or narva's.

 

i guy just posted a thread with his new fog bulbs and they look exactly like the lexus style and i dont think he tinted his housing.

 

The ones that you are referring to are the yellow capsules that AKOGAN installed on his 5th gen. Those capsules actually need to be installed into the fog light housings, and not just on the bulbs themselves. This is more difficult and requires you to open the actual housings to install, and then resealing the housing. The outcome is awesome and totally worth it in my opinion.



Those are the 9006 capsules which hidtech recommended over h3 capsules.

Tinting would be the easy way to go, but may not look as nice because your housings will always be yellow, even in the daytime. It all depends on your tastes.

 

How can you install them into the actual housings? What would they be attached to?

 

Nokya Hyper Yellow H3. They run at 2500k and are very yellow.

This is my car, but it looks much more yellow in person


EDIT: Here is another pic I found that actually does justice:

 

narva ralley golds for me

 

no idea actually, i guess you should look up akoyan's thread about it or just ask him.

 

I think ive seen that second car somewhere before, thats a good looking car!

 

Thank's for helping me out bigleman

I was the one who emailed you a while back about your fogs.

5th gen fogs are very different from 4th gen fogs. I'm considering doing this but I'm not sure the 9006 Hidtech capsule will fit inside the stock grey 4th-gen capsule. Have any other 4th gen owners done this?

 

that seems like too much work, just get some PIAA's or Narvas and they look great

 

i will soon be doing the 9006 capsule in the 4th gen stock fog light. it will take some work to open it up, but i am sure it will be done....

 

I've already got one of mine opened up (for another reason), that's the easy part.

 

projectors???

 

Ha, I wish! Whatever happened with the Orger from Rhode Island who was putting OEM HIDs in his stock 97-99 fogs???

No, the reason mine is opened is because the glass was broken (came like that when I bought the car last year). I bought a replacement used fog off eBay but the housing of that one was broken, so I'm swapping the glass only.

 

Is this what you are looking for ?

The lexus cars use projectors to achieve that crucially bright yellow. With our doing that mod, you'll never get them like that!

 

Oh Really!?

 

Not a problem, unlike some of the @ssholes on here, i dont mind helping people...
