OE fog lamps came with a yellow capsole build in the foglight housing.

not the HID bulbs.

Blue + Yellow = Green.

no the yellow capsule is what makes the halogen fog bulbs give off a yellow output.
making it seem as if there are yellow bulbs.
with my regular non yellow capsule fog lights, I used 3000K bulbs to give off that yellow output.

BUT I have learned something in this thread.
Didnt know that the OEM yellow fogs ONLY came when the car had OEM HID's
I thought ive seen some GS's with the stock HID with white fogs...

maybe their fogs broke in an accident or something.

The foglight mod is the best free mod for the car, IMO. My fogs are always on when I drive, no matter what time of day! I just want them brighter. 4300K with yellow capsule is it!

Thanks for blinding ppl on the road.

Fog maybe low but it have no cutoff like the lowbeam so anyone in front of you will get blind. That is worse than ppl driving without their headlight ON at night.

The OEM fog is not HID so it's not as bright. (at least mine is not HID)
