amber ..yellow whats the difference.....?.

car_lost

amber is like ornage... but yea... there are 2ways... you can put a yellow film over the lens... talk to Alexxx about that... or you can get yeloow bulbs... i just dont know where.

which looks better?

CJITTY

Canary yellow...Stoplight Amber...however you want to call it, lets just say the guy with the TLs on here with the film on the lens, his fogs look like the yellow/amber/orange fog light color on an IS300. Only this guy's look way better than the IS fogs, and the IS fogs are sweet!

I bought a set of those max gold bulbs and they suck.

They're not very bright and come out as a pale yellow colour.

I'd advise anyone to stay away from them.

drcookie

Yup ... I got the MAX Gold as well and they are not as bright as I thought.
For a white fog, I would suggest PIAA, but for bright amber fog, I am still searching....

Cheers !!!

You can just get yellow 9006 bulbs.

The max gold appear really bright in the pic? Can you actually see the yellow on the road from the drivers seat? I know it sounds like a dumb question, but it appears there is moisture on the road and the reflection is more noticeable. I really like these, I'm just leary from all the other posts.

Here are my pics:

The road is yellow in front, just look at the Maxima beside me:


I won't go too much into detail, these are HID fogs. This really can't help you since you have a 99 model and no stock fogs, unless you get the Value kit or buy some Lexus fogs and custom fit them into your fogholes.

I bought the Max gold bulbs based on the pics and review that was posted to this site.

I regret buying them and if I could go back in time, I would definately not waste my money and buy them.

The bulbs that I have are not anywhere as close to as bright as the pics show. I am thoroughly disappointed with the bulbs and to top it off, my gf even asked me: "Aren't they supposed to be yellow??"

naa i have to update my sig,,i dont have my black 99 anymore....i have a 03 white diamond pearl type s with black interior,,,i only had it two weeks i already have teins, and the windows tinted..the teins haven't been installed yet....i wanna get my kit and the fogs so i can do that a once..im gonna get the new 7 inch alpine when someone buys my cva-1006 and dvd player.......but where did u get the hid bulbs from

Alexxx

Ha, when I was doing this I didn't know too much about cars, lights, etc. I bought the 6000K D2S bulbs and replaced the low beams, so I figured since I have the film on my fogs, why not make 'em HID with my left over stock HID bulbs. So I bought two ballasts with D2 connectors and realized that the D2 bulbs won't fit into the 9006 sockets, so I had to modify. I basically "molded" the bulbs into the foglights.

What you can basically do is buy the yellow film for like $15 I think. It won't look as bright though (I had the film first before I did anything), which is why I decided to go with HID fogs.

In the end, I basically saved about $250. I could've bought the 9006 HID kit, but I used the old bulbs.

The only problem is that I don't really like the way it looks during the day. I have very little time right now, when I'm free I'd like to make a custom reflector or find some yellow glass and mold it into the foglight housing around the D2R bulbs

where can i get the film from?
