3000K is used for yellow HID, 4300 is OK, just don't go over 6K, I tried, and it turned out to be ghost green!

here's how you clear out the yellow fog lights on a gs... now pay attention... get a phillips head screwdriver and remove the foglights 2 screws on each foglight, remove the bulb from the housing and you will notice that there is yellow tinted glass that surrounds the bulb now you have to get baby needlenose plyers i got mine from home depot they actually have a curved tip on it... use the plyers to carefully break apart the yellow glass inside the housing its very tedious but it beats having to go out and buy a new set once i did that I just shook the whole thing untill all the little pieces of glass fell out the I used my air compressor to get out all the tiny particles took about an hour but it worked and now I got matching hid's all the way around... hope that helps... any questions just let me know

Don't listen to this guy. ^

Yellow fogs are much rarer than clear ones and they're always in demand here. Just trade your set for a pair of clear ones with another member on this forum instead of having to destroy a set of yellows.

Yes, please do not destroy something as sought after as a set of yellow OEM fog lights. I actually have both sets. I switch it back and forth. I have 6000k HIDs in my fogs. With my yellow lenses on there. It looks green for the first 30 seconds and after it warms up its fine. Here is a pic of both on my car.
Clear

Yellow

The Yellow there is better looking contrast with blue/white light then to have two slightly off shades of blue/white lights on the car, thats just my 2 cents.

As far as I know the bulb is a standard 9006 bulb that is behind a yellow capsule. I will dig my yellows out when I get a chance and see if the yellows can be pulled out.
