Default fog light discoloration

Hey could someone help me find out what may be the problem with my driver side fog light...my car was hit and I took it to a shop to get fixed and they replaced my fog housing and bulb. They supposedly used Lexus parts...but the bulb they used doesn't shine bright yellow like my original its more orange yellow and my stock is yellow. how do I get my original bulb/ color back? 2005 GS430

There are 2 kinds of foglights for the GS. There is the clear housing and yellow housing. They are different part numbers, the shop probably just ordered the clear housing foglight.

The clear housing will produce a normal orange light like all the halogen car lights out there. The yellow housing basically has a piece of colored yellow glass inside to give it that deep yellow look.
