I have the JDM yellows as my fogs currently. They're pretty nice. Haven't heard of the ultra ion yellows, though.

Note: replacing your fogs is a royal pita (especially if you have a lip like I do - had to remove that to gain access to the bulbs). Try 'em out BEFORE you put everything back - would suck if you don't like them.

That looks damn good.

I was planning on going yellow HID from Carlab (they've got an HID kit - plug and play), but since I'm going to change the bumper at some point (hopefully sooner than later), I decided to wait.

drex, I was going to do that too, but Darwin convinced me to just keep with 4300k or up. he said that the 3000k yellow ones were simply 4300k bulbs dipped in a goldish color to make them emit the yellow light...

you've seen how bright my fogs are first hand...
