Stock is 4300K.
5K is the closest match.

Once ordered, send payment via Paypal and include a note stating you want H11 with 5000k to match the headlights.

I just ordered a set of these lights. Can someone do a quick DIY installation specific to the '13 ES?

Thanks in advance.

any of you guys out there who ordered the HID fog lights from the ebay link above get them and install them yet? was it a relatively easy project to do yourself? do you have to take the wheels off to get to the lights? Thanks for any tips, I want to do it myself on my new ES300h. But only if it's pretty easy to do.

so I decided to install mine tonight. but once I had the old bulb out, the new bulb would not fit. I requested the H11, but that either is not what I received or it is not the right size. unfortunately the box that I received does not have the bulb type or color noted on the box, so I can't be sure. I'll keep you posted.

The best way to get to the fog lights is through the wheel well. Turn the steering wheel all the way so you can pull the plugs in the wheel well covers. you can then reach in and access the foglight.

thanks for the update, hope it's a simple fix for you. I would love to do mine too but I want to know that they are actually gonna work and fit before I go through the trouble.
