Foglight ??? please help!!!

Hey guys in my 2002 gle i have the 8k bulbs for the headlights in my car and it looks really blue and nice so i wanted to changed the stock fog bulbs twice. Once with some yellowish looking bulbs but they didnt really look that yellow and now with supposed blue tint bulbs but they just look dim to me. So my question is what do have to do to get a blu looking fog light or a nice amber color. Change the actual housing of the light???? Im new to the light stuff sorry guys if this sounds stupid...

You're basically going to want something like this.....i don't specifically know these brands and i'm not recommending them but it's just to give you an idea of what you need....

I think your best bet is to get a pair of projector lights and replace the entire fog lamp. Yellow bulbs wont give ya the Lexus look

I made a post about the yellow fog look a couple weeks back, and the general concensus was that you need projector lights to get that yellow look. Otherwise, you can try putting yellow film in, but that could burn and discolor
