12' IS 250 f-sport-fog lamp question
Hi guys,
Just picked up a brand new F sport package IS 250 and was wondering if you knew what type of light bulbs go in the fog lamp to make it like the first gen (yellow colored)
Thanks for the info. I love the car, it was the best bang for the buck!

I think 2011+ is H11 for both low and fog, not 100% sure
If you want yellow get like Nokya hyper yellow or something
Stock cars come with halogen which isn't as yellow as the yellow bulbs

If you are sticking with halogen bulbs - get a harness!
Personally - I'd go HID 3000k

I would recommend, to go with retrofitting HID Projector fogs and using 6000K.

It is supposed to prevent this from happening to your OEM wiring:

I've had Putco Jet Yellow for over a year without a harness and haven't had any issues with wires melting. I always turn on my fogs at night.

I've seen pics of it in action. It looks a lot better and gain the functionality; this is essentially what I'll be doing as I will have my projectors installed later this week.

How much does it cost to get projectors in the fogs? Parts + labor?
