that yellow, although not ugly, reminds me too much of the old IS300. IMO.

Although i have 6000k ultinon on top, i choose the 3k hid for the bottom.
It goes through the rain and fog.
I used 6k for both before and for sf fog, i rather keep it safe.




I might have to align my foglight beam, its off

Do you have reflector or projector housings for your low beams?? If they are reflectors then your beam projection pattern is really good.

Yellow is the colour that foglights are supposed to be in. Keep it.

for the install of the hid fogs did you guys have to remove the front bumper or just remove the bottom part of the bumper to change it as if you were replacing the bulbs.

I mean for those who have changed to hid fogs, did you just take off the bottom cover to install all hardware or did you guys take off the bumper to install and attach all hardware as necessary?
