Default Foglights ??

Has anyone changed their fogs out ?? I was going to swap the bulbs but my service guy told me it was the reflector that made the fog yellow-ish, not the bulb.

Is there anyone that makes and OEM fit for easy swap WITHOUT that yellow tint ?? I know I can melt the adhesive and swap the reflector in the stock fog housing but, come one, this isn't a 93' Civic I'm playing with here.

Just wondering, thanks !!!

Im not sure about what the service guy told you but It really depends on the bulbs tint ,If its blue you will get a bluish hue on your fogs because it reflects around the fog light housing.The housing /reflector is chrome on the inside,it can't be yellowish.

I'm thinking of getting the blue foglight overlays from Aerotect. When off, the housing looks blue. I was told that the light beam will be bright white when turned on, so it eliminates the yellow hue from the fogs.

Galaxy40: Is that your IS-F in your sig? Anymore pics?

Got kind of tired from the yellow nokya fogs. I just bought a 8000k HID Kit from MobileHID. I'll post pics once I install them.

Could you please post pics of the installation as well? I'm thinking about replacing my fog bulbs, so if I have some tips/pics it'd be even easier.

Thanks.

I was just going to use threads:

and/or

to install the bulbs. I think they should help. If I'm too lazy, maybe I'll just call Tommy from Music Box haha.
