I think he was asking if any of us have using lets say for instance the PIAA extreme yellow or whatever the bulb is for the fogs, with the condoms OFF.

I have my yellow condoms off now and was also wondering this.

Would I get a real crisp yellow?

Took yellow off, regular stock bulb.
I use fog with parking lights on only during the day when it rains.

I kept the yellow. Drive with them on all the time, just the driving lights and the fogs, even during the day, lol. I love how the yellow looks.

ok a couple of questions...


1) condoms...those things over the actual bulb on the headlight?

2) Why do you take them off?

3) How much would a bulb (or a set of 2) for the fogs cost at my dealership?



thanks fellas.

Yup, from what I understand, the condom is what gives the yellow look. I think there is a sticky on how to remove them, check the Problems/Fixes section.

I hate how the new Buicks have yellow DRLs, they make me feel like TLs are less unique.

Remove the battery to access the drivers side fog.

Unplug the fog light, Obv

Remove the fog light bulbs.

There are 2 screws that hold the entire housing in the headlight housing, if that makes any sense.

LOOSEN the top one and you can completely remove the bottom screw.

You can remove both of them if you wish, but the top is much harder to get back in than the bottom.

With the one screw loose and the other all the way out, remove the fog light housing.

You will see the big yellow condom...Press down and turn, you will see how this works when it is in your hand. Take off the yellow piece and reinstall everything.

Worst part imo is taking the battery out.

I'd go with an aftermarket fog if you are wanting white. The stock foglight is not a crisp white with the condom off at all.

I went with eurodesignz 8500k white bulbs, that I had to convert the wiring to work.

I may switch to silverstars because IMHO, they light up the road better.

End of my ramble

yeah today I went to my acura dealership and bought a new fog light, I like the condoms in, so i kept them in, and I am now running my orig. 2 yellow fog lights instead of a ghetto, 1. Before, I wouldnt even turn them on becuase having one on looked ghetto.
