Chuck- Yes.
Wondering whether the PIAA 9005 bulb in Ion Yellow would be even better than the stock fog bulb with stock yellow lens, but another post seems to indicate no, that the bigger 9005 Ion Yellow bulb gives off other colors. I'm tempted to try it though, since they'd both be PIAA bulbs, but I dunno if the yellow fog lens is removable.

Yes they are but you'd have to break them and fish the parts out. It is probably easier to sell it or swap for clears + cash. Yellow seems more popular right now and some would probably be willing to trade you for clears and throw in some $ too.

i tried to look at my taillights and see if i could safely take out the yellow lens, but i figured it's pretty much impossible

I still think the matching white to the HIDs looks best in the parking lights, can even be a bit bluer, but the stock mismatchy stuff just has to go

read this https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=127769

the wedge bulbs are the ones you can change to different colors. they only come on when the headlights are on. the actual drls are your highbeams at half power.

Thanks for lookin out Chuck. Saved me some ugly typing....
I'm still not exactly sure why, but this looked freakin' horrendous. I guess it's just the bluish HIDs RIGHT NEXT to the yellow bulb. The combination looks better when ther's some separation distance, like down to the fogs. The whiter bulbs/LEDs look better in parking light location - see PHML's sticky, many choices.
