Good luck! Just be warned that when you remove the overlays there will be residue that's a biatch to remove! I'll post pics from when I had yellow overlays in a bit, and also with blacked out fogs to give you an idea of how it would look

The yellow is just the protective film from aerotect. Just fog light overlays

Any ~3000K HID kit with the proper bulb type should also work. I'd aim for a reputable brand though, to save you the headache.
Don't want to deal with HID conversion,
i guess just a bulbs.

Clear fogs give a crisp look


Yellow fogs are a Lexus classic look
