Default Heres how to save some money

What I did was.... instead of buying clear fogs with already having the yellow ones, I took a flathead screwdriver and bashed it repetitively (I know) into the housing until it all shattered. Then I shook it until all the yellow pieces fell out... This was all done after I attempted putting them into the oven to remove the front, so that I could properly remove the yellow glass housing inside the fog cluster and failing. I don't know if heating it up before I bashed the glass helped it shader easier or not, all I know is that it was very hot when I was doing it hope that saves you some money... -Joe

I have black onyx and love my yellow fogs. It's a nice contrast with the amber and HID on the front end. I guess it all depends on what color your GS is.

it seems like majority of people like the yellow. as i mentioned before imo the yellow fogs look dated, they're not on any new lexus'. i think in the future i'll buy hid's for my fogs with clear lens' and keep my old yellows so i could switch it up when i feel like.

That is exactly what I did. I love being able to switch it up whenever I feel like it.

Btw, please DO NOT destroy your yellow fog light housings by doing what jamodeo did with his. You can usually find someone to trade white for yellow in the classifieds.

I used to like the yellow fog look, but then i changed my parking lights that are in the high beam housing from stock to L.E.D that basically matches the HID lamps and the side marker lights have the same L.E.D bulb as in the high beam parking bulb. So new lights are not as bright as the old white ones so it really show as distinctly* as the stock white ones. So now it doesnt look right with my fogs on. So I leave them off. I rather have the clear ones not and change the bulb to something more of a silver tint.
