Just wondering what the majority of Maxima.org thinks

 

Dude, theres a big thread about yellow fogs in the 5th generation Maxima forum. You can't miss it.
haha. wut do you mean by FTL, FTW???

 

yea thats for maxima's, not i30's i want the opinion of i30/i35 drivers

 

haha i see. well i have the luminics bulbs, but they aren't great=\. sorry, what do you mean by FTL and FTW?

 

Can I vote for 3,000K HIDs FTW?

Yellows fogs are great IMO, works better than standard halogens in adverse weather conditions.

 

For The Win

For The Loss

 

Yellow fogs are the only way to go. And if you do decide on yellow fogs, the yellow capsules are the only way to go... Unless of course you opt for the 3000k HID mini bulbs.

I first tried PIAA's Ion Crystal yellows, and was dissapointed with both the color and the price. I installed the capsules and will never go back.

Next step... HID mini's in the capsules or if I could find some yellow mini projectors

 

Here is a fun pic just to show off the color...

 

NewLoveI30, your fogs look great! did you use H3 capsules?

 

I actually ordered the 9006 capsules from HID-tech. I hear the H3 capsules dont have the metal base which is very usefull for installation, unless you want to try to glue them the the reflector... Bad idea IMO.

 

for me, with HID's its a must.

 

did you use a yellow film over the fog lights, or just a yellow bulb?

 

Newlove, have you considered IS300 yellow projector fogs?

 

can someone p chop this for me with yellow fog lights for me

thanks

 

3000k HID FTW. I love mine...the contrast in the rain and snow is just flat out awesome.

I usually charge $50 minimum per drawing I do. PM me and I'll send you my paypal. I'm in a good mood so I'll give you the .ORG 50% discount.

 

You might want to try tinting the actualy lens of the fogs. Thats what I did. However, you sacrifice keeping the clear look. I don't know how they would look on a black car, they look great on my beige car, but w/e To each his own right?

This is what mine look like:







Those are all the good pictures I have. If you want to see what they look like during the day, check out the members Rides post for the i30 section, im on the last page.

-Cheers

 

Seems like i'm the only one who doesn't like the Yellow Fogs!!?

BTW, the pics are nice...

 

LOL!! Best PS Yet!


Nope, not the only one. I know alot of people say the yellow lights cut through the fog better, but I just can't get over the way they look. Ideally, IMHO I think it LOOKS best to have the headlights & fogs have matching output.

 

 

The real question is what are you buying the lights for. There is the Yellow "Look" that everyone is going for, or the functionallity. Personally, yellow is yellow, no matter if you get the "Lexus" capsules or whatever. I personnally can careless on how "Lexus Yellow" my bulbs look like. I rather have functional fog lights, and if you are going to modify, rip apart, destroy your original fogs, then do it right and get HID 3000k kit. I tried capsules and seen them on other member cars and eventhought the "Yellow" is more pronounced they are not bright enough for serious weather conditions.

Then again, IMHO and $.02

 

yellow fogs are better.

 

Thanks everyone, me and my friend, who has a 94' e34 530i, are going to get probebly lamin-x yellow with yellow bulbs. As soon as we put them on i will take pictures

 

hi. to the people who did do the capsule mod, did you guys modify the bulb shroud in any way? or did you guys not use the it at all. Thanks for the help!

 

I have to say that I do not like the yellow look. That is a look for Toyota/Lexus. I, myself, like the 8000K blueish HID Kit. When I get a list of things that I need to put projectors in the ebay R34 Headlaps and projectors for a custom Fog Kit, the 2 HID kits that I will need, will be installed.

 

8000k?>< Anything over 6000k will strain your eyes eventually. Unless you're just going for looks, 4100k - 5000k gives the best output. If you're just going for the blue, purple look, mind as well save your money and stick with those halogens=]

Also, I started to retrofit the capsules, but i ran into a bit of a problem. I took apart the foglight housing and now I'm not sure how i could fit the bulb shroud over the capsule. I've tried to do this based on the info from the 5th gen. maxima thread but their shroud seems to fit perfectly over the capsule or maybe I'm just doing this wrong. Does anyone happen to have a write up for the 00-04 I30/I35 because my foglight has just been lying all over the kitchen table, and my parents aren't quite too happy about it. Thanks for the help guys. Hope I'm not stealing this thread><

 

Are these projectors in the fog? or just 3000k bulbs w/o the yellow capsule

 

Just 3000K bulbs, no capsules or projectors.

 

nice pics man.

 

this is 3M adhesive yellow tint. with 3000k polarg pure yellow H3 bulbs. picture are taken under sunlight in day time. but they are bright at night.

 

Got my yellow capsules in! (Camera sucks though)

 

Anyone know of a good cheap site to order yellow fog light bulbs for my 04 I35 ?

 

Here or eBay would be your best bet.

Check ebay NOW. There's some one there for 99 cents.

(And you have a black/black i35 with the cold weather package? My car has a younger brother!)

 

Put these on a while ago. Forgot my photobucket password and the pictures were on my desktop at home.

 

I have the same in my 5.5 gen... Its safe to say that the fogs are a brighter setup than the stock HID headlights.

 

I bought some of the lexus projectors to put in my fogs, and I would some opinions. What do you guys think would be the best set-up overall:

1. Projectors w/ regular halogen bulbs
2. Projectors w/ HID bulbs (if so which temp should I get?)
3. Just sell projectors and get 3000K HIDs

Just looking for some advice here. Are the projectors a waste of time? If not, and I decide to get HIDs as well, should I get 3000K or would that look weird (since the light comes out yellow anyhow)?

Thanks for the help guys!

In my opinion, Lexus projectors would be awesome, but the time and brain power spent retrofitting them to work with your current fogs would overrule the awesomeness. (Unless you already know an easy way to accomplish this...?)

Of your options, Id suggest option #3. It would be the easiest and would require minimal modification of the existing fog housing. This way, you could also put in various other bulbs, too, such as 10000k bulbs

With HIDs in your fogs, you're not limited to color output you could even get yellow HID bulbs.

 

I need the "lexus capsules" now.

Love the look NewLoveI30

 

HIDtech have really bad customer service..isent them three emails and didnt even reply so i got sick of waiting and baught 3000k HID's.. the light output on the road is awsome but it doesnt look that yellow if look straight at the fogs.
