fog lights

I have an 03 RL

I just cleaned and polished the headlights on the car. My headlights are bright, white, and sharp, but the fog lights give off a dull light (old style), Was the RL designed this way from factory, or did the previous owner update the headlights? Is there a replacement to convert my factory fog lights , or can I retrofit to a "yellow" fog light?

Can you post a photo of your lights please. I think Morimoto LED fog lights are awesome. Hopefully they will be plug and play for you.

I will try and post pic tommorow. I know that the headlights are clear, white blue color, but the fog lights give out that regular light. The lights are small square factory lights. I guess the previous owner didnt update the fog lights .

Blue light on or off is a good reason to be pulled over... just saying.

Agree, most likely they will just tell me to remove.

Putting any sort of film over the lights will reduced the intensity and brightness, as long as your are okay with that. FWIW as I understand fog lights do not serve much of a function now a days other than looks.

Might be like 5% less intense, not noticeable at all.
