Poll: Yellow Fogs or Fogs to match headlights?
 

just wondering how many people are sporting the yellow ("is300") look as opposed to getting fogs to match their headlights.

Im a big fan of matching the headlights although im too lazy to put mine in, it looks like a big pita with my front lip. Maybe next spring if I'm motivated....

im rockin the piaas but I'd get HID's if I could. I'm into matching headlights as well. I never really liked the whole yellow fog thing, even though fogs are really supposed to be yellow...

Im running Nokya's right now. I will be upgrading to HID fogs very soon. I'm not a fan of the yellow fogs at all, I think that fogs look best matched with the headlights.

I guess imma be the first one to oppose and say Go for the yellow fogs but get em HID so they'll be nice and brigh. I personally think it gives the car a sportier look but that may just be my .02 whatever you do you should do it cuz u like it not cuz every1 else does cuz at the end of the day its your car.

i have had the piaa yellow fog bulbs, the actual lexus yellow foglight capsuls now i have aftermarket yellow fogs that fit my new body kit, i like yellow

the fogs above are the capsules on the left H3 capsules with the stock foglight bulbs (in a few days they shattered in the foglight houseing bc of the heat)on the right are the 9006 capsules that were to tall for the 02 foglight houseing

I am getting fogs for xmas and i am going to go yellow. I've done som research and while putting those capsules in looks good, i've read alot about luminics JDM yellow. I've seen pics and they almost exactly the same as the capsules. So i think i'm going to go with the luminics because drilling holes into my fogs housings doens't sound like something i want to attempt.

yellow > white

Irish your setup is sick!!!! Do you got the 3000k hid kit or are those capsules? im getting the ballast this saturday and imma save up for the phillips 3000k bulbs.

capsules with stock H3 bulbs......I have other things to do with a couple hundred bucks than HID fogs :grinno: capsules + stock bulbs = $35

They dont look almost exactly the same, just sounds like you dont want to put in the capsules. Trust me, if you want to go yellow, capsules are the way to go. Just look at Irishs setup, you arent going to get that from the luminics. I did yellow bulbs before I did the capsules and the difference was night and day when I finally installed them.

I have to admit the setup looks nice they look like hids in the pics im really reconsidering doing the hid setup and jus getting sum capsules

yellows look the best with hids but i personally wouldn't put it on my car, and i have hids. it does help, but i think our fogs stink for output. i have the OE fogs in there. i've been through my selection of "hyperwhite" bulbs and they've been burning on me. OE has treated me well, also, imo... makes the hids stand out WAY more than "hyperwhite" bulbs.

only thing i have that's not OE are my clearance lights, they are "hyperwhite". everything else is amber or red LED.

I have matching headlights and fogs. I think it looks the best

Lovin the yellow capsuls

OMG, that is the kit i am getting! Please still produce these a year from now. So clean, doesnt take away from the maxima sporty sedan look, just compliments it.

There is a lot of discussion on what looks better, but what works better? I live in the sticks and we get some bad weather so I've been trying to decide whether or not to go yellow. BTW, where do you get the capsules?

hidtech.com

Bugbite you still have your 2k2 fogs with the capsules cause If you dont need them I'll buy them from you or I can trade you mine plus cash.

IMO Id go with matching, I think that looks the best! But it is ur car and there are some great pics of both on this thread so im sure you'll see what you like best.

I still have the foglights but the dont have the capsules anymore, they shattered so i had to open the foglights up again to take them out. sry man

No problem how was the fit? .. dont mean to side track the thread

hids matched to the heads. also removed shields to increase brightness.

WELL i think this goes with the thread, for thoes people looking to go yellow with the capsules, this info might be helpful.

The 9006 size which fits fine in the 00/01 fogs, is too tall for the 02/03 fogs (even with modifying the legs on the capsul, the glass still hit the capsule)
The H3 was too small for the foglight. the bulb fit in the capsule, but there wasnt enough space for the light to breath (hence, it shattered after a few days.
Both capsules require, bakeing the foglight in the oven, takeing the glass off, drilling 3 holes in the foglight for the capsule leg's and the removal of the stock reflective cone that goes over the lightbulb.
It didnt work for me, but i know its worked for others, good luck guys/girls

Does any 1 have pics of the 3000k hid kit compared to the capsules?

Thats why I had hoped that yours worked cause I was afraid of messing my stock ones up they are already rigged to work since I had to put in 02 fogs since I changed my bumper.

There pritty easy to do, just heat up the fogs in the oven as you would for the DDE's and take the glass off, then work from there, just when you order the H3 capsules, you have to ask them to send the 9006 legs, then the 9006 legs have to be modified (holes enlarged) to fit the H3 capsules in them, just drill 3 holes in the back of the fogs to put the legs threw, bend them down on the other side, and silicone the fog lense back on. The only key point i have is only do this with non cracked foglights, if you do it with foglights that are even a tiny bit cracked, they WILL crack in half.
Good luck.

I voted yellow cause I found it hard to match the headlights with reliable bulbs. I think I have had bad luck with H3 bulbs because mine would burn out every month or so. With yellow, I didn't have to match them at all.

get 6ks, that pic is just fogs and DDES on.. another pic is in my sig.. once i get the 6k bulbs on top and they match it will be all blue for me =]

if you do go with 6ks, get leds for your parking lights and sidemarkers to match..

I too am into matching the look of most everything. My first upgrade to my 2k2 were the fogs. Installed PIAA whites and loved the look!

I have the stock fogs still but if I did anything to the fogs, it would deffinetly be the IS300 yellow. too much xenon light is annoying and looks out of place..yellow spices it up a little and would look especially good if they are really bright+fog rewire ftw

yellow for sure

Yellow!!!

I like white

I like the yellow too. I had matching SilverStar bulbs in the past but the fogs just kept getting burnt up and I became too annoyed to buy new and change them every few months... Hidtech all the way...

contrast your lights. looks better IMO. rollin w/ lights all the same color looks ricey.

beautiful...looks real sporty. almost has a rally look to it. nice job :flower:

yellow
