You can get nokyaa or piaa Foglight "H3" bulbs almost ANYWHERE for like 30-50 bux... you will have true yellow Fogs...

I also have LED switchback Turn sigs... LOVE THE WHOLE SETUP!

Its "h11" for the 07/08 fogs...Who knows why they changed it. Get a HID kit if you ask me, much better..But I don't think you asking for bulbs, you seem to be looking for the yellow glass? In which case I don't think anyone makes that.

Yeah not sure about a yellow cover, and for the 07/08 I would go with HID's when you have the yellow PIAA's on the 04-06 they look great because they are behind a projector. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the 6.5 has a regular lens down there. Look at my pic, I have the same PIAA bulbs in my stock fog location and my in my lowers on the bumper, you can see how different they look (of course they both out put yellow color) but when you are looking at it they don't look as yellow...

Yeah, we have just a piece of glass..Which kinda sucks, I always wondered how much better it would look with a projector down there..Not even sure how to begin or attempt a retro fit..Then again I doubt its even worth it.

I have some of those Nokya H11 Yellow bulbs in my 07's fogs. I think it looks pretty good. Of course I only use them when it's raining and they seem to make a little bit of difference.

Exactly a cover for the glass or replacement or ideas to get a deep yellow I have seen some really nice yellow fogs lately but can not find them????

Also what are the results from using a spray tint does it work????

From what I've learned from research online is that those Lexus yellow capsules won't work in the '07 foglights.

That's simple. Take off the bumper and everything else will be self explanatory. Just make sure you unplug both connections first.

hey I got the same front bumper by ED Duraflex VIP but I can't find those foglights you got. Can you tell me where I can buy them. I am waiting for the bumper still but I would like to do the bumper and fogs at the same time

There's two screws holding the front extension of the plastic wheel skirt to the bumper. Remove both of them, then pry the skirt outside the bumper lip, a little force is requried, but nothing that will damage either piece. You can get in and out of the space much easier if you do this.

From there, twist out the bulbs, replace, twist them back in. You'll see what I'm talking about when you're under the car.

Does it make sense for me to install my HID fog lights myself to my 6.5 gen maxima 2008, or should i bring it to a shop. I been looking for a write up or a video on how to install the fog lights on the 6.5 gen maxima but I dont see any. Anyone have any Ideas?

Been a few months since I did mine, but I recall there were two screws on each side of the car holding the bottom of the bumper cover to the wheel skirts. remove those screws, then you have to put a litte force on the skirt to move it outside the bumper cover, but not a whole lot is required. Once you do that, you can see the fogs and reach them much better, as without removing the skirt piece it's tough to move around.

After that, it's just about mounting the ballast someplace safe, and installing the lights...got to run the included wires someplace that are out of the way but give you plenty of room to maneuver.
