Default IS3 fog lights, can they be changed?

I wa sjust wondering if the fogs on the IS could be changed just like the GS fog lights? is it just a yellow cylinder like on the GS or does some customizing need to be done? thanks

you mean change to clear? if so, yes, but it's hard.

it's different from the GS. the GS fogs there is a yellow lens (thin), and you just break it and you get clear. for the IS, the lens is like SUPER thick. first you need to pry open the fogs (yes, risk fogging here), and then you sand away the surface of the lens. only the surface is yellow, so once you sand that down (or use some liquid solution to melt the surface layer) you will get the clear. put the fogs back and you are done.

OR, a better option imho, is just to spend money and get the jdm clear fogs for the altezza
