Has anyone tried these fog housings for the 5.5 gen?
I currently have the yellow Nokya H3s, but they just aren't yellow enough with the stock clear lenses (my dad even thought they were white), so I browsed around on ebay and found these:

For some reason the price just seems a bit high, and I've never heard of Racing_Guys before (not to mention it sounds a bit
) But if anyone has ever used them or has any observations I'd appreciate it.

those fogs wont fit without rewiring. go with POLARG B1 hologen pure yellow H3 3000k. thats what i have in my fogs and they are brighter and more yellowish than nokya, luminics or any other brand out there. the great thing is POLARG is japanese brand. following is the link for ebay auction these bulbs are $70 else where.

Do you have pics? Post them up I wanna see the output of these bulbs. Thanks.
Also the tint is clean and extremely easy to apply. It is adhesive on one side and can be heated up to stretch if need be. Obviously won't for the fog lights but can be for the headlights.

isnt it better to go for yellow 4000k HID's in fogs instead of going through all the baking and drilling hassle. the cheaper you can go is have some great quality of yellow H3's in fogs. Polarg will do.

I just recieved the 3M adhesive yellow tint tape from www.stickercity.com
i ordered a pair for 01 maxima fogs and they sent me those in large size. i ended up cutting them from side to side but couldnt do a professional job got some tiny flat bubble spots but they dont look that bad you can only see them if you come close and pay attention. first of all they should have sent me the right size for 01 maxima fogs. but anyway i didnt wanna go thru sending them back etc, so i just aplied it on top of my fogs and here how they look right now.
