That does look good nismos. You can also get Narva Gold Rally yellow bulbs. They will not look as yellow as that but they are decent. Just run a little hot.

I have the whole PIAA housing so the yellow on mine are totally differenty. My bulbs are actually clear but the housing has something in it that make the light yellow. I used to have narva golds on my 97 and I liked the yellow color to them. Yup they would fit.

Just to tell you that the only problem I have read about the Narva's are they can crack your housing or burn out quick because they run really hot. I never had a problem. If you want go to see prices on them you can get them from http://suvlights.com/. Click on halogen and then go down to H3 bulbs - gold/yellow.

can you please talk like a normal human being? its really annoying when you talk like that, anyways, i dont know what if any euro housing exists for our fog's.

As for you guys who like the yellow fogs , i personally love them as well, and my fogs are on with my acc, so they are on with the car, they basically are like daytime running lights in the day and fogs at night. I can have them on without the parking lights and without the headlights on. I am actually planning a new mod soon, going to add something a little bit different and i'll post pics as soon as i do it

Here's the link for the stock foglights Fog Lights I think thats also the shipped price. What I was thinking of doing was buying the foglight kit, and then buying OEM IS300 Fogs and custom fitting them into the opening with custom brackets (I traced the IS300 Fogs on a sheet of paper and put them up against the opening of the stock location on the max and it seems like they would fit fine if not with minor modification). Wire them up with the stock wires from the stock maxima foglights to the new IS300 fogs. I think that it might work.
I think the ultimate light set-up IMHO would be: E-55 Projectors in the headlights, IS300 Fogs, and LED tails. <---My future plan

this is the exact paint i used http://www.eautoworks.com/html/ord-A...int-1-5650.htm

if the link doesnt work let me know.

i took my fogs off the car of course, then painted them about 4 or 5 coats i dont remember, and let it dry over night, the stuff dries pretty fast if i remember correctly, and voila! yellow fogs

when i ordered it i got the can thats on the left in the pic, however im just assuming that both cans are of the same color and just in different packaging

the problem for me to do that much modification to lights is the cost, but i bet it would look amazing, esp with a rosewood max The fog light idea is pretty cost prohibitive for me, even tho it is a good idea!

i was lookin to do something different for my max, i got a GLE so no stock fogs, and i was thinkin of doing custom IS 300 fogs, but i found some and they would look funny in my opinion. i actually put the housing in the hole and yeah it fits but the lights wrap too much so it just doesnt look right. some one might like it, but it wasnt what i was looking for. so then i saw the infinity G20. i don't kow yet but i think they will be a better fit and have a cleaner look to them, similar to the headlights. and being that infinity is really a nissan, i was thinking the connections might be plug-ins, just a theory though. if some one has done this or knows anything about it let me know.

you're gle probabyl doesnt already have the wires there, so you're going to have to run new wires and install a new switch.

yeah when i bought my oem fogs and installed them the instructions said all maximas are wired for fogs, but if they weren't part of your package, the factory would have deleted the fog stalk and fog relay. you just cut your holes, put in the relay, change the stalk and you're good to go..
