Default Yellow fog lights

I have a 92 es300 with the yellow fog lights and want to change them to a clear. Other than buying a whole new aftermarket kit is there any replacement lenses for the stock yellow fog lights in white/clear? or a way to remove the yellow lenses?

There's alot of threads on this, search for "clear fog lights" or something like that...

I just cleared mine a couple of days ago, but I had to use a hammer, because it wasn't as easy as the tutorial that is up here says.

so now basically my lights don't work anymore, but at least their clear !

I don't use the fogs much anyway...

WHat?
I love the yellow fogs on my ES300. I like them way more than the clear ones and all the ones on the later body style.
THey look awesome in my opinion...
maybe this will change your mind...

Hmm nope, still hate 'em...

Let me rephrase that... see in my oppinion, I view all things yellow and orange on a car as an early to mid-90s car feature...

In an effort to make our cars look as stylish as possible, we try to elimate all these sources.... such as yellow fog lights, the orange corners in the headlights, and hopefully if some more people can figure it out, the clearing of the orange in the taillights.

The ES300 has always been a very stylish car, with no need to change the main design throughout the years. However the little changes (such as the taillights, headlights and yes, fog lights) were welcome indeed.

I agree that the corners should be cleared but I still like the contrast that the yellow fogs produce...
Anyways fog lights are supposed to be yellow because that is the best colored light that is supposed to be used in foggy conditions.
Well I am not going to argue about this, so I'll just leave it up to personal preferencce and yellow fogs are OK with me...

Yeah, the bulb is a regular colored bulb, the glass is green.
I also like the look of the green.

Personally I like the clear fogs, I was thinking of getting some of thoes cool orange PIAA bulbs for em though, you know what I'm talking about. But anyways, now that I replaced my stock halogens with like "xenons" the fogs look really yellow, so I might as well invest in some PIAAS....oh man, this car is like a never ending bank withdrawl...lol

Blux, I can't see any of your pictures either. On the scratches thread, I couldn't see the pictures but when Paddy Wagon or someone reposted one of your pics, I could see it. Weird, I don't know enough about any of that stuff to have a clue why.

Geocities won't let you piggyback images anymore...(for like a few years now actually)
