dig up that great thread with comparisons. i guess i can't really give any input on how it is with 5th gens, but the 4th gen fogs really aren't that effective in terms of light and i would only do the capsule mod as more of a cosmetic type of mod.

and what are you saying? jus don't have fog lights?
Yellow or HID
Personally I like the HID. Cuz if you think about it, if many people wanna take the amber blinkers off, why pay the money and get more yellow lights? And from the picture, I highly doubt those are really effective as lights. HID should be more useful and in my opinion better looking if cost is not a factor for you.

hids are better, but when you blink your highs, the fogs turn off/on. i dont know what kind of effect this has on the ballasts and bubs. yellow capsules are 5-6 times cheapers. and yellow bulbs are probably 10x cheaper than hid fogs. it's all about how much you want to spend.

Capsules will look a lot yellower, but the HID will have much better output.
I have the capsules and love them. I think they look better than HID, and am not worried about output because I have pleanty with my lowbeams.
If I were to change things again I would put a mini HID kit in with the capsules... Or a projector retro. Then I could have the color AND output.

in the large comparison thread, Dr. Roy's setup is HID bulbs WITH yellow capsules. Why not just get the 6k HID and spend the extra $25 and get capsules and do both. The capsules are just a capsule. SO having the halogen bulb is not even close to as bright as an HID. If you want brightness and yellow, try the 3k or just get the 4300 or 6k HID and capsule. Cannot go wrong with yellow fogs! Mine are stock halogen bulbs.


ok so i'm now leaning more towards the capsules only reason is cuz its cheaper and the light output doesn't look horrid, it actually looks better than stock, another thing is that i'm worried that if i flash someone it might mess up the HIDs because its not good to turn them on and off.....
BUT i'm havin a SUPER hard time contacting HIDtech.....Does anyone know who else is selling the Capsules?
another thing i'm planning to do the reto dr roy did with the projectors and the HIDs on the regular headlights....Doesn't the low beams turn off and on when you flash someone?

As for contacting HIDtech, I just paypaled them $37 for the capsules and shipping. I left a note in the commects box that it was payment for 9006 Lexus yellow capsules... A few days later I received my capsules.
if you got the money to spend on fogs, then get the HID. people get the capsules or the yellow bulbs, because they dont think its necessary to put in HIDs on fogs, or just too cheap to put them on. me, im too cheap, and dont wanna waste my money on HID fogs. id rather spend it on a RSB or springs. but its your car so mod it how you like it.
