Hmmm. I'm not sure how they would flow on certain cars. BUT, I'm sure someone will buy these and try them out.

I'd prefer to just put yellow bulbs in the housing and leave it at that.

I think I would prefer them if the lense was clear but they had the IS300 yellow capsule inside.. They should look good at night while they're on, but during the day is another story.

I think it should look good...or atleast better than the obnoxious painted/vinyl'd yellow lenses.

As with all aftermarket lights Im more interested in the beam pattern. So until some one gets pix they are just eye candy.

I for one would like to see what they would look like on our cars. I think they might look good but I just want to see it in person or a pic of it on the car first. Photoshop anyone?

If you had those, i bet you'd save a ton of money in replacement bulbs. You could buy regular ole H3 bulbs instead of yellow tinted ones.

Orrrrr you could get capsules from HIDtech.com and regular ole H3 bulbs and have true yellow light without having the yellow look all the time FTL.

That comes with everything needed to do a complete swap?! If so that is cheap for everything included for brand new lenses.

Is it possible to open the foglights up and do sort of a AE mod to them? or do i have to tint them. I've been thinking of changing my fogs a bit.

Possible, but likely not worth it. Unless you have a reason to have your fogs open already, I don't think it's worth the trouble of opening them. You likely wouldn't notice much a difference, either, since the reflector takes up almost all of the "back wall" of the housing. The rest of the housing is dark gray plastic which kind of looks AE to begin with.

I will be trying this in the future, however, so we'll see

ive done the yellow capsule mod, thats definetly better than just a yellow bulb, which i have also tried. DO NOT put a higher wattage bulb in the foglight cuz it will either burn out faster, or heat up the damn capsule and crack/breaking it. I have to do mine all over again.

But these foglights look good! not sure how they will look though...
