Because the capsules cost $37 and an HID conversion cost $200...
If you are going HID in the fogs anyway... Yeah, don't bother with the capsule. But most don't want HID's in the fogs.

A month ago I noticed one of my capsules had fallen off. I guess the JB Weld didn't adhere well to the reflective coating inside the foglight, so I'll have to open it up again and use more JB Weld or a different adhesive. All those damn potholes....

The other way to use the lexus capsules...
They need to warm up a bit, I was at work so I went out and took some quick pics. None the less once they do warm up they are yellow as yellow is going to get.

As far as the lexus capsules I'm not sure, stumbled across mine. If I'm not mistaken I think someone said you can get them from tech 1. Again, I'm not sure about that.

well since my last post above i still havent gotten any replies from hidtech.com....guess those guys are allergic to cash...luckily i saw Big_e-dog,s post and deceided to try his H3 capsules....the ones that he has have plenty of room in them for an h3 bulb to breath and im not worried about them cracking because the bulb only rests halfway in the capsule and they are built in a way to allow plenty of air to escape from the capsule so they wont overheat.. they have been in there for over a week without any problems...i run my fogs with my lights at all times and do most of my driving at night...i installed them the way everyone else has.(baking fogs)...also cant beat the prices...i ordered 2 sets of capsules, one dark yellow and another lighter yellow...cant beat the price either...im gonna order another 3 sets and have yellow fogs for life...heres a pic...i chose to install the darker yellow capsules...Big_E-Dog from this forum is the man to order these from

i know that its been over a year since anyone has posted in this thread but i love the way those yellows fogs look. I had a set of the PIAA in my 4th gen and they lasted all of 3 months and were way to expensive to replace again and honestly werent any better than stock white ones.
question: does anyone still order these from Big_E-Dog?
also what is the life expectancy of these things?

They should last indefinitely, as long as the bulb isn't touching them. Just make sure you install them properly. One of mine came loose when the JB weld broke. Use the metal tabs to secure the capsules through holes in the back of the reflector, per the write-up.

This is a smaller glass capsule that I've used for my 4th gen. It works with stock H3 bulbs so if you're planning on using HID's, etc. then you need to find something else.

How do these little capsules attach to the H3 bulb anyway?

Josh,
nice thread. i dont get much time for the org lately, but everytime i log on there is a new yellow foglight thread, this thread should cut down on them a bit.since i have had a few PMs asking, here is my contribution.this is how i mount the capsules, no drilling, jb weld or screws.
open up the foglight, unscrew the bulb shroud and cut the top portion off. remove the three metal legs from the yellow capsule and secure it in the foglight under the bulbshroud.
