I'm finally going to replace my stolen fog lights. I've decided to put hid's in them but I also want them to be yellow. So I was going to do one of the following:

1. Just pick up a 3,000k h3 hid conversion kit.

2. Pick up an h3 conversion kit, (not sure what temp. would be best) and install the yellow capsules in the fog housings.

I don't know if I should go with the second option cause it might be overkill compared to the first option. I don't really know much about hid's yet and I don't know if the 3,000k will give off the yellow that i'm looking for. Any recommendations or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

projector them... = ) thats what most people would say

 

well if you pick up h3 rememebr that u need to get the mini ones because regualr ones wont fit unless u modify the fog light

 

If you have the time not the money, go with mod with yellow lexus capsules.

But if you have the money not the time, ebay sells the fog light housing with yellow glass.

I dont suggest the yellow ons off ebay.

I spent $130 and they cracked in 3 days. The heat from the glass and the rain made them instantly pop. This is even with the 55w bulbs they provide.

 

That's because it's a good idea. HIDs in the stock fog housings would have rediculous glare.
HID capsules don't have a wattage rating, ballasts do.

To the starter of this thread, I'm not entirely sure the yellow capsules will fit over a standard HID capsule (non-mini-H3). Do a search for geo1317 (might have the #'s wrong), I believe he did a setup like that.

 

Thanks for the info. I found the mini h3 hid kits. I think they are h3c but i'm not sure. Techone makes a kit. Haven't found any other kits from a company i've heard of. What temp rating would you guys suggest I use if I go with the yellow capsules?

 

if your going with yellow capsules get 4300 k

 

I think I'm going to try the yellow capsule mod. It's less work than the projector mod. I like the way my headligths are setup with the amber corners and bumpers and clear head and fogs. I'm not sure the yellow mod will look to good tho. Any thoughts?

 

Honestly, I don't think yellow fogs look very good without HID headlights. Just my opinion, though.

 

Thanks for the input Pat. I was thinking the same thing. I was thinking of doing 6000k 9007 HIDs later. I'll rethink the yellow fogs at that time I guess.

 

I have projector fogs with h7 bulbs. instead of the capsule or hid idea i bought this yellow film almost like window tint and applied it to the projector lens on the inside. end result =

 

Good job, looks like it came out well!

 

Personally I think that if you are doing the Capsule mod, since your in there why not just do it right and do the Projectors while your there?

 

Because projectors arnt cheap. I havnt found them for cheap yet. It's much more work then doing capsules. There is a whole list of reasons...thats like saying someone wants to do a MEVI install. While you're in there get a 3.5. Ok maybe not that much...

 

we have them too in stock, i recommend you the H3 small for your setup cause the 3000k kit is really hot!!! i have sold tones here.

 

which projectors can we fit into the stock 4th gen foglights?

 

hey guys.. i cant post a new thread so ill just post this about my fog light on here.. i hit a cat and it busted the glass and fog light right out of the car.. i cant pass a safety inspection but the guy told me if i take the other one out i can pass with no foglights instead of 1 out of 2 working.. i just have no idea how to take the other one out.. its a '96..any suggestions?

 

its only 1 skru lol

 

damn newbs crack me up lol

 

I would not personally know but the heat shield inside my stock I30t's fog lights looks like it blocks a great deal of glare.

Can't HID work well (and not blind other drivers) without using projectors??
