hey guys... noob here. just wondering why ppl go for the yellow fogs? aren't white fogs a cleaner look? i would think that would look better since it comes close to matching your HIDs. i guess i'm just missing something (like are yellow fogs JDM-style or something?)... thanks!

1) Yellow fogs look good for many people. the ES300, IS300, etc fog lights I believe came with yellow fog housings.
2) The yellow color temperature is better functionally as a fog light than a brighter white/blue color.

IMO, since I went with 6K lowbeams, it seems like 3K fogs help you see bad road conditions (cracks, potholes etc.) much better than stock or higher temperature bulbs. I can really tell the difference when I switch off my fogs and drive with my lowbeams alone. Anyone notice the same?

It's allllllll personal preference son!





I have 6k fogs, 6k parking lights, 6k Lowbeams sonnnnnnnnnnn

DO WHAT YOU WANT BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

becareful on what kit you get.

I bought the 3000k HID kit from xenon depot and it was toooooooooo light.

too light as in highlighter yellow.

go with whateer you want dude.

nokya 2500 bulbs will give you the nice golden yellow color and be the easiest to install.

^^2500K during the day...not a light color at all with 8000K headlights

at night....

I love the look....its a real nice sporty look and def. grabs attention. Especially of the IS300's

Once again, go with the 2500K if you wanna go for a sporty look. Its differ. and it looks good IMO. Good luck in your choosing!
