its been awhile since i got my 97kit uprgrade done but i never got around to having the fogs wired up. well its finally been done except i couldnt afford to get a 3000k HID kit like i wanted along with my 6000k low beams. instead i put in some yellow bulbs and yellow film, and it does the job as of now, here are some pics:

these were taken in my garage in the evening on a foggy day, not yet night

just the fogs:



with the city lights:



finally with the HIDs (note: beam is not as blue in real life, and it was not warmed up)








sorry bout the fuzzy pics and the spray in the beam pattern

Looks great, do you have pics of the fog lights without the lights on? I wanna see how the yellow comes out with the film

nysupraman

we'll c about sat todd, you kinda left our *** wit your boost las time lol. i might bring something a little faster

thanks man, its just one of those things that you never get around to, i wish you coulda made it on saturday, havn't seen your car in a min!

vboy418: yeah they are 6000, not near the blue the camera captures, its the perfect white i always wanted!

Aries: sorry no pics without the film, its a pita to put on and take off and keep it all perfectly aligned without any bubbles, im kind of a neat freak

lighthalo

he just wants a pic with the fogs off so he can see how the yellow film looks on the light its self


btw, i went the route of 3000k HID's and they are awesome!

actually what i did was since i have 2 pairs of HID's (lows and fogs) i hooked everything up and i hooked the low beam balasts into the 3000k HID fogs and the 6000k low beam bulbs into the fog light balasts so that when i turn on my low beams my fogs come on and when i turn on my fogs, my low beams come on. this lets me just drive with my fogs on during the day - kinda like my day time running lights

IMO tho ide take out ur parking lights cuz nothing goes with ur 6000k HID's unless ur lucky and find some nice LED's

lighthalo lets see some pics of your 3000k shud look good
i kinda use mine like DRLs too haha. i know what you mean, i need some LEDs in my parking lights! and FYI Aries is a woman not a man lol. sorry for the confusion, i'll tryin take some pics with no lights on.

there are actually other methods to getting that yellow fog effect without using the film, so as to keep it clear. One is as stated, using a H3 philips 3000k hid kit, which is what i did. the other way is to change out the bonnet within the fog housing to a yellow version which is produced by a company i can't recall at the moment.


that is basically what covers the bulbs inside the fog housing. Changing that to the transparent yellow cover would yield a result similiar to the GS/IS fogs. However, if you're going to try and use the philips 3000k hid kit, you will have to either modify this bonnet or take it out completely as the return wire on the bulb will not clear it. I opted to just make a hole large enough for the return wire as I dont want to produce unnecessary glare. If funds ever come available after my recaros, i aim to retrofit the foglights too with some projectors.

nice job on the yellow fogs but imo, i'm not the type that likes the color when the lights aren't on.

*edit- if you opt to change the bonnet, you'll want to use these
