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 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.

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.

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?

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

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 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

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...
