If you have clear fogs you can either one you want. Switch it up whenever you get bored. I have a pair of 9006 3000k bulbs I don't need.

i like the trademark Lexus contrast of slightly blue HID's in the low beams and yellow HID's in the fogs.

If ya got clear fogs, the 3k will not have that deep yellow hue u want. If you go 6k with clears its a nice clear look. But if u go 3k you have to get yellow fogs. I had 3k in my clear fogs at first and it looked nice, but didn't have that deep Lexus yellow that sets our cars from the pack.

If you go 3k, you need yellow fogs. Some even get yellow overlays.

Heres my options I had on my ES. 6000k Low, 3000k fogs

Old setup when bulbs were new (so excuse the green tinge in this picture only). These are reflector fogs with no color in them. They turned yellow after a couple hours of having them but they were light yellow, not dark yellow


New setup with yellow OEM projector fogs for my year. Super yellow IMO. The lows are still blue, just not in this picture.

If you have the set of 6000k, it is suppose to be slight blue.

IMO, I think go clear if you have dark color and silver. If you have white, you should go with yellow.

From a Non-Lexus owner, I will tell you that if you get the traditional deep yellow color then go yellow, but if it is the lighter yellow color, keep the 6K because it makes it look like a Honda with yellow fogs rather than the distinct luxury look of the Lexus color. That deep rich color sets it apart from the rest, but the weak dull yellow color throws it back into the heap of every other car. G/L
