I'll tell you what I did on my 96. I bought a $5 sheet of yellow tint film and cut out the right size for the fog lights. I wet sanded them real well for a smooth finish, and stuck them on there. They look great and it was cheap.

IS300's had capsules.

Cheap? not gonna be that cheap. Its an oem piece that is sought after by many... so good luck. I've yet to find a set on eBay. And i'm sure you know this, but you have to bake the fogs and retrofit. There was a thread on here. Just do a quick search.

Those are the best for the money, but the capsules will be YELLOW, trust me...

Do a search there's a member that already did it and look at his pics to see for yourself...

I have yellow Integra capsules on my car.





I had yellow Luminics before, and they didn't even come close.
