Keep in mind the Lexus fogs are not yellow because of the bulbs, the lenses are yellow.

I have the Piaa 168 Ion Yellow Wedge bulb & they are as close to the look of the yellow on the GS400 as you can get.

You can buy them here: Click

I have 'em as well, and they look a little better at night. But keep in mind, they have so little wattage, they won't look like the full 55W foglights.

those lights are going to be dim cuz they are only 5 watt, I got PIAA white bulbs(they are blue actually), and they are 18 watt, and make a huge difference. I know you want yellow so that does not help you that much, but if you can find ones that are a higher wattage, they will look like those on the lex.

At Clublexus, PIAAs are your best bet, but won't have the intensity of the true Lexus green fogs.

The LExus fogs are an actual green glass, the bulb is a regular 9006 bulb. If you really want to look like a Lexus, you can maybe go to an arts and crafts store, buy the green transparent film, cover the glass and then have the PIAA bulb. HIDs greatly reduce the hue of the yellow bulbs. But it is a cost effective method.

Or buy an actual Lexus.
