Exclamation Fog light "condoms"

Does anyone have one of the yellow lenses for the fog light bulbs? One of mine is broken, and i like how the look, so i would like to put them back in. I bought yellow H3C's, but its just not the same!
I looked, and the only way to get a new one, is to buy a new headlight assembly. And there are none of these cars in any wrecking yards around here

I think I still have a perfect pair. Have to go look for them, though.

I really only need one, but a set would be safer. How much do you want for them?

These yellow condoms are rare. I sold mine years ago, and just recently sorry. Should have kept them.

The Nissan guys like our condoms. They love the JDM yellow fogs look. And our condoms fit their bulbs like a T!

I am cool with my clear fogs. I did the Park-Fogs DIY and I use it all the time, like DRL. Very cool.

Can do. They shipyards get here tomorrow. I plan on using the yellow bulbs with the condoms, and not using the reflector piece. The thing that looks like a satellite dish...

That dull silver thing is for glare and believe me, it helps. I took one out to try it and that side glared pretty badly.

If you look at the pattern of light thrown onto the road with the shield, it really does help aim it to the ground, just like the vertical flutes in the lense. I put a projector in there once, and took it out not long after. I rarely used them anyhow.

with condom


with condom and cover thing


condoms, no covers. Not a huge difference, but it should be much more noticeable at night

I sold all my Koito ones, but I know I have a Stanley somewhere. The shape is different from the two linked; the capsule is larger on the Stanleys.

I ordered some h3s from work, and I'm planning to do the swap. H3 are so much easier to find

That's why I say... "You can never have too many of these Yellow Condoms". Also, the bulbs are not easily to get as well. H3C... WTF? You can't find them in your nearest Napa, Advance, or Autozone store... lol
