To HID with white or yellow bulbs in yellow IS300 projectors?
I retrofitted IS300 projectors into my fogs. I did not shave down the yellow film because I wanted the light output to be yellow. I have regular white 9006? bulbs in there right now. If I want it to be brighter, do I want to get some HID 3000k(yellow bulbs) or some HID 4300K( pure white) bulbs? Basically what I want to know is, will it be brighter with the yellow light going through the yellow lense? or the white light going through the yellow lense? Thanks

I think they should be similar output-wise. Around 4300K is the optimum color temp for output, the yellow film should cut that down to about what a 3000K puts out. Personally I'd either shave off the film and get 3000K or get 4300K and leave it. Yellow bulbs AND yellow film seems a bit much IMO.

Yeah. Well in terms of halogen bulbs if the projectors already have the yellow tint, by using a yellow bulb you will get a super super deep yellow perhaps orange color, light output will be reduced. I would suggest using a normal halogen bulb, or even a 3000-3500K HID bulb.
Not 100% sure though, best for someone with experience to chime in. When i had my ES300 capsules over my piaa crystal ion bulbs it was like orange lol.

I am planning to rtrofit the lexus yellow caps ( still gotta get them first) into my fog lights and get 4300k HID ( white )...

a bright, crisp yellow.. im sure the bulbs that lexus uses behind the yellow cap is white anyways...
