I seen a 5th gen maxima earlier and it had yellow fogs and it looked great, I think it looked better then the stock lexus is300 fogs. To get the best yellow it would have to be a HID kit right? Which one would be the yellow 3000k?

 

yes the 3000k would be your best bet

 

Additionally, NO....the driving lights do not come with HID stock from Nissan. You have to add an HID kit. So, if you were thinking you could just buy a set of 3000k HID bulbs and swap them in....it won't work.

(*edited: realized I originally typed in the wrong kelvin/color. Duh!)

 

HID yellows? Why not do what Irish and everyone else has done with the capsules or what not?

I'm planning on getting 3000k HID bulbs and ballasts for my fogs someday. Look around online and find a cheap kit with bulbs and ballasts and wire them in. Just get the right size for stock fogs, H3 or 4 i think.

 

I used this kit: http://forums.maxima.org/group-deals...og-lights.html

$100 and came complete with harness. I have 6k headlights and fogs. The HID fogs really make a difference.

 

Or yellow film

 

Or, if you're on a budget, do what I did and buy Nokya Hyper Yellow bulbs.

 

What are the OEM HID low beam bulb numbers? D2S?


EDIT: Just found OEM fogs are H3

 

OEM fogs are H3 like you mentioned.

Low beam HIDs are D2R.

 

Thanks ! I was just about to go pull one!

 

Are you looking for OEM replacement HIDs or another color?

 

I remember back a few years ago, there was a member with a 5th gen that did lexus yellow capsules and a 6k HID kit in the fogs behind it. It produced the most brilliant yellow color i've seen from any car before. I cant remember his name though. (It might have been "DR." something) I hate yellow fogs, but if I ever did, that would be the only way i'd do it.

 

zpeople that have done HID in fogs how did you close up the wires.... did you drill holes on the fog to let the wires in?

 

I did lexus capsules with 3000k HID, and they are brilliant yellow.

S

 

Yup, the ones in there now have been in there since '02 and are def not a true 4300k, so I am going to replace them with 5000k when I do my fogs.

 

3000K HIDs and Yellow Lamin-x Film with stock housings

 

The early LS400's also used yellow foglights. (if those capsules are easier to come by)

 

I dont want the yellows just more of a blue look than the white looking!!

 

HID would probably be better since it's brighter and more brilliant than halogen bulbs and less heat as well during operation!

 

Has anyone here actually USED blue fog lights in fog?

Results? (FTL!)

 

I got 55w 3000k


Sorry about the pic size

 

^^
that looks scary

and troop by blue do you mean match the stock headlight color ?

 

You could just **** in your fog housings and seal them up. Even cheaper.

awesome quality HID's. i bought my 3000k fog light HID's from there and they are great! no problems, no bad ballasts, no hassle from the company. i bought the apexcome raptor HID kit 55W (the thick ballast) and i love it! the best thing is the price

 

Those are the same ones I have. I've had them in for almost over a year and have never had a problem. Only problem was mounting the ballast since its thick

 

Get the 3000k HID fogs, they look amazing at night the enitre ground beneath them will be yellow
