i was reading up a reserected thread on the lexus yellow capsules and i saw that the 5th gens had don this sucessfully, but i was wondering if any 6th gens had done this? if so how hard was it compared to the 5th gens? problems?

this is what they look like

anyone? I need input on this too!

 

No offense but the car already "looks" like a Lexus GS, why fake the effect more with the yellow fogs??
If you want to fake it even more, here is what you do.
The Lexus yellow fogs are actually a regular 9006 bulb but the lens is yellow. If you want to fake it, you can buy yellow PIAAs (please but a quality brand) for the Lexus effect.
Some people also buy yellow film and cut it over the fogs, for the yellow effect.
The Lexus yellow fogs came on HID equipped GS and IS cars and ES 300s from 1992-1994.
Hope that helps.

 

what? the capsules are just a piece of glass/plastic that goes over the current bulbs. no need to buy new bulbs or film. and the yellow fogs arent to fake a GS, i just like yellow fogs lol

 

I agree.... Lexus actually used the capsules. I found this out when I called Lexus parts to see about buying bulbs. They use the capsules from the factory. These will put off a much brighter yellow light compared to the Piaa's and these no need to buy any other bulbs. I just bought some from HIDtech, cant wait till they show up. Its funny how people argue points that have dont know s**t about.

These are the one used in a 6th gen max. They fit the stock H3 bulbs




NOT THESE

 

Yea yellow fogs are better for bad weather vision? thats why i was interested well thanks KC

 

i remember reading to get the bigger one so the heat doesnt cause the capusle to expand. wen you intsall em kcmaxx, make sure to take pics and write up a how to please so i can see how hard it is to do for us 6th gens!

 

That is correct! And the combo of stock HID's + 3k fogs + superwhite LED for the turn-signal=

 

who cares about better light output? the yellow just looks cooooooool

 

o and btw kc, i was thinking about ordering them but i was unsure if they fit and how one would get them to stay, since they dont see to have any kind of connection points? so im hoping yours goes well b4 i go around to getting them.

 

Don't know if you're bashing me or joking around, but light out-put is better and they do look cool in the housing when paired with the lights that I stated!

 

Thats right but I dont really like the look of yellow but I know its really good in bad weather unlike HID's

 

naw im not bashing you, just joking around. how can i bash on a fellow 17 year old 6th genner? there are too few of us, so we gotta stick together!

 

You know that there are different colors for HID's...3000k being one of them...which is yellow

 

 

bump for Kc? any news?

 

Nope... I've sent them countless emails. How do places stay in business with no customer service?

 

I just brought h3 yellow bulbs for my fogs. Hopefully will install tomorrow.

 

What brand? Did you buy them locally or eBay?

 

They were given to me. I will let you know tomorrow the name of the company that makes them. Its in my car. I really didn't look at them.

 

alright chances are you looking for andy from HIDTech...best thing you can do is call him.

umm but as far as the capsules go for the 6th gen...they won't fit. i've already tried doing a test fit with andy personally. there is a alternative though...they are complete fog light replacements. bascially what it looks like is the OEM stock fixture however with a yellow lens. and yes there is a huge diffference. and its not just a cheap little light trick difference. the lens itself is yellow meaning if you use stock H3 bulbs the light output will be solid JDM yellow. we were thinking of trying them with yellow H3 bulbs with the yellow lens to see how much "richer" the color tone would be buh he didn't have and h3 bulbs. but i'm still waiting for someone to rent or sell me their HID headlights inorder to try it out. shyt. where are headlights when you need them. lolxz

hope that helps you guys out with the thought process.

ooo btw he is located in the NYC, Queens, Flushing area.

if anything i don't like giving out people's phone number without asking them first. so if you wish to contact them lemme know and i'll give him a call.

 

Why wont they fit? They slide over the existing bulb. If you know the guys down there, please tell them to answer their emails. If they dont want a sale, I'll just buy some where else

 

well KC i don't believe you will be able to purchase the peice else where...but if you want i'll give andy a call regarding your e-mails.

 

That would be great! Thanks

 

??

 

apparently its a bit difficult to explain however lets just say that our fog light housing will not support/fit the capsules.

and i just re-read what you wrote and lets just say if you purchase the necessary parts, i'm assuming your not from around NYC...so you'll still need someone to install the parts for you...cause its not simple remove and replace...its more like remove adjust and place in...there's minor modding involved with the yellow fog fixtures. i hope that clears it up for you a little bit...

 

I wont need any installations... Why would someone buy any other light housings when you could get yellow bulbs? PIAA H3's, for example. I only want the capsules because they put out a more true yellow light than most others. Theres several threads on here supporting that. I really truely doubt Nissan or whoever built the projectors our fogs use are just slighty bigger than the bulb itself. I'll pull the bulbs tomorrow and have a look for myself. There has to be room in there for a measly thin piece of glass to fit around the bulb. Tell your boys or whoever to contact me. Ive probably left 5-10 emails over the last week and a half. I guess I'll just have to do like others and buy yellow bulbs...

 

NOOOO~!!! try it, lol i wanna see if it works lol. not that i dont trust you mister, but i refuse to believe!!! i want them so baddd

 

My friend gave these to me. He brought them in Queens, NY

 

I dought those will put out a nice yellow. Ive tried Lumanics and Nokya bulbs and they all seem to just be too light, not the nice lexus yellow.

 

Yea I know but why spend so much when you can get the look for cheaper? plus I rarely use fogs anyways...

 

It was free and I will post pictures when I install them.

 

free is always good !
