Default Generation Two Yellow Fog Bulbs

Hello All,

I have decided to get some yellow fog bulbs for my gen two. I have read on here in the past that many people found some bulbs they loved. I do love that gen one yello fog blue H.I.D. combo, you can alway spot a GS or IS at night. Can anyone provide a link to a company that provides the bulbs that people have great luck with? Much appreciation in advance. I think one member recomended Nokya 2500k 9006. I want to stick with non-HID ballast driven bulb for the fogs.

I've used the Nokya 2500K bulbs before, they are DECENT. If you have some money to spend, get PIAA Ion Yellow bulbs. Its a night and day difference from the two. Plus PIAAs are lifetime warranty if you buy from an authorize dealer and have a receipt.

I have a set of HID yellow fogs waiting for me to install them. Lucky me, I got them for cheap... real cheap.

Im running Polarg and its doing great for me. I have heard the PIAA's are not as yellow compared to the Nokya or the Polarg.

From my experience, when I had a Civic and my friend did too, his PIAAs were 2-3 times brighter then my Nokya bulbs.

My brother has a set of PIAAs in his car and they are really yellow. Driving towards him and the amount of light that is put down on the ground.

I haven't used Polarg, but I've heard great stuff. Actually I've used smaller bulbs and they have a awesome finish. Great quality.

I have the regular Lumics bulb that I got off ebay for around 20 bucks. They work great, and I hear they are more yellow than the nokya's. You might consider shelling out a little more money for the new Luminic Krypton bulbs.

I have Piaa's 3000k crystal ion and they are yellow, but not as much as I see on other and mainly previous gen GS and IS. I get jealous...

I do not want to spend money on the fogs either because rarely use them, but I think the best yellow is gotten from perhaps an 3000K hid kit, like the one from

It really stands out, great for bad weather, and looks cool.

^^^ 9006

I'm looking into HID fogs instead. Either 4300K like the OEM bulbs or the 3000K yellow.

The mod was quite easy if you turn the wheels the opposite direction. Yellow looks great on this car as well. if I ran HID fogs, i would do a 600k to compliment the headlights as I believe most have done on here and it looks great. Also, their is a hidden little bolt under the front bumper on both sides that requires removal but is very easy.
