clear.

you can always swap out the bulbs to change the color, why not go with clear so at least you have the option to do whatever you want further down the road?

good point. i'm leaning towards clear but i just wanted to get an idea of what everyone else was saying. lexus produced the GS and IS with yellow fogs for only a few years. the 3rd gen GS and 2nd gen IS have clear fogs, or the more natural off-white fogs. i want my car to look more like the new models, therefore imo the yellows look dated.

i can never make these kinds of decisions without pictures so... i hope this helps




clear housing yellow hid bulbs. i'm gonna put clear side markers with matching 3000k yellow bulbs once they arrive in the mail. taken with my cell phone.







sorry i can't seem to resize the image, which is weird because the image is saved smaller then that.

Yellow is not only better looking, it's more expensive also.
