I've never really seen a Maxima with HIDs and yellow fogs besides Irish so if you have any pics post them up here. I'm not necessarily a huge fan of the setup on cars besides Lexus but I'm interested to see what some different setups look like...I saw a Lexus GS the other night with 8000k upgraded capsules and yellow fogs and it looked really nice.

 

i was thinking putting the PIAA ions in the fog. I always like the set up of the Lexus.. I think its pretty hot

 

Ive actually been wanting to change my fogs to yellow, but was wondering what bulb i needed.

 

I just recently installed the piaa ions... unless you upgrade the capsule, i think those are the next best thing. The pictures i took dont justify how yellow they are. But when you look dead into them, their not lexus yellow... maybe the surrounding area is yellow but not looking dead on.

 

Not a very good pic, but this is with 6000k Ultinons and the yellow fog capsules.

 

if u want to get the proper hue of the lexus fogs, ur best bet is to order the capsules and leave the stock bulbs in.

 

Stock HID, Yello Capsules.

My only problem was i wasnt happy with taking the foglight housing apart. I'm scared moisture will get through if for something it wasnt sealed properly. Plus Im still not sure about putting a headlight/foglight into an oven.

but the yellow output is the best if you use the yellow capsules.. no doubt

 

here are the fogs with yellow bulbs.

here are the fogs with the LEXUS YELLOW H3 BULBS (with the stock foglight bulbs). THE 9006 CAPSUL WILL NOT FIT in the 2002 foglight houseing.




the 9006 capsul is to tall



but even after all these modifications, the H3 capsules shattered from the heat, so i am done with yellow fogs for now.

 

where do you get yellow h3 capsules?

 

Kruppa, you can always get a 3000k HID kit from Umnitza. That sh*t is hella bright and super yellow.

 

What hardware does a good HID kit come with?

 

Everything you need haha. Usually, 2x igniters, ballasts, (unless igniter already in ballast), bulbs, and wiring harness (either to stock wiring or to the battery directly.)

 

I wonder If you could just use yellow film(lamin x) on the bulbs to avoid the hassle of opening them up.

 

Will any h3 HID kit work in your foglights, or is custom fitment necessary?

 

what? i'm not good enough for you?



by the way, to whoever mentioned the PIAA Crystal Ion bulbs. I had them previously and didn't like the color at all...they really weren't all that yellow at all...

 

tim, I don't think the lamin-x on the bulbs would help much with color (as you recall, I had the lamin-x on the lens and it wasn't much more yellow)....

 

^^^more than one layer, perhaps?

 

more than 1 layer would really cut down on the light output. The capsules are not hard at all to install.....I say just go with them.

 

i know that I have a 4th gen, but since both have H3, do the capsules just slide over the bulb, and then put the bulb back in, or does the entire asembly have to be taken apart?

 

NOT HID but you could imagine the difference.

 

ok wait where do i get cappsules from and how much are they and how much are piaa fogs??


This site has the cheapest PIAA i can find

Damn, I bought a set of 9006 capsules, this sucks that they don't fit a 2k2.

 

Isnt there a yellow HID kit available in h3??? n3985 mentioned it above. Also can anyone answer my question of whether or not an aftermarket hid kit would work in the fogs without any custom fitment?

 

i have the 9006 in my 02 as pictured above. they do fit, u need to cut the little legs off the capsule, its a VERY tight fit, but they fit.

 

or you can do as I did, and drill small holes to stick the legs THROUGH the lens....

 

Ok Where Do You Get The Bloody Capsules From!!!

 

HIDTech.com

(btw, you have to CALL or email them, you cannot order online)

 

Thanks for the info Bumpn and Irish, they will be installed this week, I'll post pics.

 

: 10 char

 

www.umnitza.com or www.jlevisw.com both have them. You need to e-mail or call though. They sell the Prolumen kit which is available in mini-H3....direct fit inot the fogs.

 

Those stupid things cost $30 dollars i might as well just get PIAA yellow fogs instead now??!!!?!?!?

 

the capsules will be alot more yellow.

 

Junk > PIAA

 

People do the capsule mod for a reason.

 

not HID. cheapo hyper white, but the color of the PIAA ions is awesome. i've been told they change color from diff angles and look like projections. also i've never seen another car with more yellow output. i spent $50 for the set, but it's been worth it and i plan on gettin PIAA hyper white headlights now im so happy with them

 

you have now --->



by the way, the PIAA Crystal Ions look kind of greenish from angles - that's the reason I got rid of them

 

Damn it ok fine ill get them I know i should listen to the veterans instead of regreting it later. Hay irish wat the hell was up with the plane??/ i didnt get that
