I decided to do a yellow capsule mod for the fog lights of my 97' ES300. I have been wanting to do this for a while, but have not had the time. Previously, I was using Luminics JDM Yellow bulbs, but there is honestly no comparison in color. Using the capsules gives off a really deep yellow:

 

what a capsule?

 

the bulb swifty ... [cant belive im telling you this when you're more an expert than I on hids...... ]

 

Capsules are yellow glass covers where the bulbs go inside.

Here is a picture of what they look like:

Looks good. Makes me want to do the same honestly. I was just gonna buy yellow bulbs but now i'm thinking this is the way to go.

 

It's pretty easy, it took me about 5 hours to do including baking. The yellow fogs look great with my 6000k HID's. I would recommend it if you really want the real Lexus yellow look. You will be happy once you put the capsules in there, bulbs don't compare IMO.

 

well, i think you are right by what he meant, but when I hear capsules I think of bulbs, it can be used for both purposes.

for example, look up sylvania H7 halogen bulbs/capsules.

 

Thats the capsule with a stock white bulb? If so looks real Nice, I'd like to see a daytime pic please on and off

 

So let me get this straight. The capsules are NOT complete fog replacements? What I mean is that are you still using the clear lense you see on the lower bumper? According to the description link from R1R I see the capsule/buld assembly only. If that is true, what is taking 5 hours to swap and what is being "baked" ? Sorry if my question(s) sound stupid, I am just trying understand. Thanks

 

No. They are little 'condoms' for the bulb, if you will.

But since they are wider than the hole, which is made for the bulb alone to squeeze in, you have to crack open the fog light assembly and have them mounted internally.

This would give you a better idea, a more brute approach with cutting the housing but same capsule: http://mysite.verizon.net/dinhdu/index.htm

Btw, OP, looks freaking awesome! Immediately i started thinking of doing the same, but i will be taking things in a different direction for next year!

 

Thank you 01LEXPL, I now fully understand and the link posted explains the proccess perfectly!

 

I'd like to know how much those caps run? or where to get as well. Thanks

 

Yeah seriously where did you get those capsules from?

 

I think I found them if anyone wants to put some input and tell me im wrong before I buy them?

I will try and get some more pics for you in the day-time.

Yes, I am using these capsules with stock white 55 watt H3's.

It looks amazing at night.
