I haven't done this myself because I like the yellow personally, but there is a website that shows a DIY on opening the fogs, removing the yellow lens and sanding it down to make it clear.. as far as I know thats the only way to make the OEM's clear. I'll try and find the site for you..

here hopefully this link works;

http://home.comcast.net/~fusionmotorsports/

It's under tutorials, then click "fog light painting & clear lens conversion". Looks simple enough

Hey no problem! I have seen some "JDM" fogs on ebay that are clear.. also I want to say that some of the canadian spec IS's came with clear fogs, not 100% sure though. Best of luck with whatever you guys decide though!

The JDM clear fogs for the 1gen are very expensive. I personally love the bluish HID and Yellow fog combo on the 1gen's and 2gen Gs's.

Yea, see I thought I had heard somewhere that some of them did come clear. I wonder why some Canadian spec IS's have them and others don't?

sportcross fogs will not fit a sedan bumper

if your lense is clear you could get a 3000K HID kit...
