Default 3gs with Nokya 2500 Yellow fogs and Polarg M4 DRL

I had read before that changing the bulbs on the fog lights was a PITA, until this thread....
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=299375

I ordered some Nokya Hyper Yellow 2500K bulbs and put them in tonight, literally a 7 minute job (no need to remove the bolts, just 2 clips and bend plastic back and out of the way).

Anyways here is a quick pic....I always liked yellow for fogs. Also, I had tried 5 LED 194s for the DRL housing but I found even the hyper white LEDs had too much blue compared to the stock HIDs, the Polarg M4 bulbs are a very close match..

A side profile...BTW the yellow looks a bit more yellow in real life than in the pics.

Anyways, I got the same ones when I first got the car, love them!

I have the 5 LED for parking lights though. Maybe I'll switch to Polarg M4's after these have problems (if they do).

the question should not be how bright the light is, it is how much the factory wires can handle.

those are the exact ones i got from that guy, the 70w may refer to light output or something, the yellow bulbs actually have 55W stamped on the plastic housing, so they are OK....see what I mean ?

My 5 LED 194 bulbs literally started to melt apart at the tip and I tossed them and got the Polargs and it looks much better as far as brightness, whiteness and overall match to the 4300Ks. The yellow Nokya bulbs look sooo nice, nicer than in pics here, still no significant addition to the visibility but neither did the old fogs. This is probably due to the fact that after I aimed by low beams higher, the visibilty is sooo awesome that the fogs cant possibly add unless they were also HID at which point you have 2 sets of HIDs on at all times (may be overkill)

to Polargs, can't wait til I get'em.

As far as aiming the low beams, did you have your dealer do it or did you do it yourself? Thanks.

I asked the dealer to aim them twice and I felt they were still low, so I aimed them myself. Pretty easy actually, there is a specific cutoff, so i parked in my garage (level) and turned the lights on with car on, let them level, marked the wall with blue masking tape and aimed the beams up by 1 inch on the wall (car 5 feet away) and it made all the difference, no one flashes me but visibilty is 50% better (longer range). The passenger beam is already a bit higher stock, so both get aimed up a bit.
