Default Yellow HID Fogs...Installed
Well I went ahead & bought & installed a set of HID Fogs in the F, Yellow(3k). VERY easy to mount the ballast. I love the contrast HID & Yellow. Might have to pick up a set of 8k HID for low beams. Few pics...Ill take a couple night shots soon.

OEM vs HID Yellow(with my doofus dog creeping in the pic lol)


few in the evening...




quick Target run prior to install(hood looks nice)

I have the 55w 3000k for my fogs. I did notice that they get super hot to the touch. I was afraid of something melting, but its been on my car for over a year. No problems. 3000k is the best color to cut through the fog!

I went with a 35w kit...Im pretty sure factory is 55w but I usually wont put a higher wattage in the factory harness. Definitely think 3000k is perfect too!

Looks sweet. I wish I went that route instead of my jet yellow putco bulbs. I love yellow fogs. I like the cf on black as well. Well done

You went through the fender liner? I did and it wasn't as easy as people said, I felt like I was gonna tear that liner off

yea I had to change out my skid plate anyway...so I figured id knock both out at the same time. I hit a chunk of wood on the freeway a while back & it put a nice sized hole it it...finally got around to getting a new on & the yellow kit...productive weekend for the F, wash, yellow fogs & new skid plate.
