DIY HID conversion for LS43 foglights
Has anyone done this ? Can anyone give step by step info on which parts to remove if I want to install aftermarket HID conversion for the foglights ? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

how to access ?
Thanks for your reply, Lexkost. More questions though.
How do you access the foglights ? I don't remeber seeing any screws at the outside. Should I jack up the front of the car and access them from underneath, or would it require removal of the front bumper ?
Also, does anyone know the Kelvin rating that would be closest in color to the stock HID headlights ? Thanks for your help.

Lex- would the high beam bulb burn a higher temp when run in the fog constantly? Would it melt the bulb holder or housing, etc etc. Sounds like a cool idea. I'm asking, because i wanna brighten up my fogs but keep the yellow!

yeah if you want the easy way, just get some 9006 super white bulbs (i suggest piaa extreme white or razo platinum white zero) and you are set
but if you want the real deal i still say go with hid fogs. i have 6000k headlights and also put in a 6000k hid kits in my yellow fogs. the fogs are just so much brighter than any other gs out there. from what i see, the problem is that the hid on the gs/ls, etc... they are so bright, so they kinda "cover up" the fogs. but now when i drive, people always see 4 hid easy. and since the fogs are so low, the lights are all on the ground, i don't really blind anyone
