Red face FOG LIGHTS no like yellow!

Ok,,placing the questions in the right forems....

I want my fogs to be the same color and look of my current HID's. So where do I get "what" for HID fog bulbs? Also can you upgrade your headlamps to more power?

You all have been great...

send some answers and links...PLS..

I believe the GS has a yellow glass cover that goes over the foglight bulb so the first thing you would have to do is remove that glass cover.

If the first step is successful or even doable, then you would need to find a bulb with the same colour temperature as your gs430. What temperature are your HID's?

I did this DIY

1. take out the lights and use a screw driver to break the yellow glass be careful to not bend or break the metal reflector inside, so gently apply preasure to yellow glass on side and it should break.
2. make sure all pieses come out if not you'll have little yellow bits inside that may reflect of yellow light
3. buy HID kit or bulbs I got bulbs for now. I bought RAZO Premium White Zero 9006 bulbs they match great. not HID but pretty darn close to the color and your done.

Try and see if someone wants to trade their clears for your yellows because some folks could be desperate for them. I know I was

Send your foglights to me and I'll knock them out for free. I'ld like to get my hands on the yellow cover to play with.
