Default Need White FOG LIGHTS 2011 IS 250

Looking for fog lights on my 2011 IS 250 to match the white LED's on my headlights.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help!

Funny you posted this because I just turned in my 2010 IS250 loaner and as I was sitting at a stop light, I wondered hmmmm, I would want these lights to match.

I know the factory fog lights are supposed to be yellowish in color because they help you see better in the fog.

Maybe getting Lexus Japan Factory LED Fog lights! It will cost you thou and may require professional installation.

for those that have changed out their fogs ('11), what method did you use? ive tried the wheel well liner and that was a pain (for me atleast). i have been thinking about removing the front bumper but that seems a bit extreme for fog light buld swapping.

Yeah, the DIY thread doesn't apply to the 2011's. I did use the wheel liner method, but I had to remove numerous screws that were not in the diy and even then I was left with such a small gap to get the bulbs in and out. I scraped my wrists up pretty bad with this method and will likely take the bumper off next time...unless someone figures out an easier way

im strongly considering removing the front bumper to install fog bulbs, although i think its a bit over the top but i guess you have to do what you have to do.
