Installed PIAA ION YELLOW FOGS, pics!

Guys, these bulbs are defintely yellow... I mean alot yellower than HELLA! And I am not sure who said if you look at the lense and it would not be yellow they are full of it! Look at the pics. The lense is solid yellow when turned on. Looks like a LEXUS! These seem to have some serious light output as well for stock wattage.

Anyways, here is the link to all the pics...enjoy!

Got mine from www.autobarn.com for around 50 for the set. I heard others got them cheaper somewhere else.

Well, they don't make a lense for our cars, so we are out of luck there. But I can tell you the pictures do not do it justice. I can park it right next to my friends LS-400 and it will look as yellow has his fogs guranteed.

i've had them for awhile, and while they are deff yellow on the ground and on the wall ... looking directly at them ... they are not yellow. I posted on that before. They look good, don't get me wrong, but lexus yellow is a no ... (not w/o the yellow plastic in the housing)

they have them on optauto for like $18 a bulb ...

I agree they are yellow ... but not directly on. I had a friend drive me in front of it while I left it on in a parking lot just to see ... they were not THAT yellow. Enough to make a difference yes, but nothing that everyone driving by will break there neck to look at ...

I really like them though! I have said that for 6 months now, how they really complement the HID's (both conversion kits, and 2k2 HID's)

i got the piaa 168 bulbs for the parking lights and clear bumper lights to match ... now those are yellow! They don't match my fogs though ... bummer. That was the whole reason i bought them. I wanted to get away from the hyperwhites ...

They don't look too yellow in the pics. I have PIAA 510 Ion Crystal fog lights on my max and those are yellow from a foot to 500 feet. The light beam on them is outstanding too.
