Lexus IS300 fogs...

does anyone know how i got get the fogs on a 02 TL-S to look like the ones on the Lexus IS300 or the GS400/430...
i've always liked how yellow it was at nite...bling bling...

can it be done by just changing the fog light bulbs to yellow??...or do I have to get the reflectors to be yellow??

Any idea??

thx

Thanks!!

Yellow Ion Crystal 9006 Bulbs are another option.

The lexus fogs are projectors, and I think the glass housing is yellow as well.

would those Yellow Ion Crystal 9006 Bulbs work??...or do they just give u a yellowish look along with some other colors..like purple or something
i've seen some custom made yellow bulbs that aren't too yellow, pretty weak...can't compare to the ones on the lexus...

can we have projector fogs and yellow glass housing in our TL?? would that give the exact Lexus look??

and where should i go to get this done??...performance shops??

Dont waste your money on those bulbs. I had those when I first made my fogs yellow. Then one went out so I had to put the hyperwhites back in. They look way better than the ion yellow did combined with the film. As far as wear goes, I have had the film on for about 5 months now I think. Still going strong. And if something does end up happening to the film, it will cost me about $.13 and 30 minutes to redo it. Alone, the ion yellow bulbs put yellow light onto the ground, but when you look at them head on, they dont really even look yellow at all.

Lexus cars equipped with the yellow fogs have a regular clear bulb, the actual lensing is yellow.
